The aim of the current study is to scrutinise the
research carried out in the field of psychology in Turkey. The paper selects
the subfields of ‘educational psychology’ and ‘social psychology’ as a case and
focuses on the methodology employed in this research. 84 research studies (n=44
for educational psychology and n=40 for social psychology) were included within
the current study. Findings of the analysis have revealed that (a) the
methodological approach was predominantly based on quantitative and positivist
paradigms, (b) the methodology employed was guided to a little extent by the
purpose and questions of the research study, and (c) the implemented procedure
mostly contained cross-sectional data collection from a sample in a narrow
research setting. Findings of the current study help to shed light on and
create awareness in regards to how methodology is utilised in psychology
research by providing a detailed description of these studies.

Bu araştırmanın amacı Türkiye’de yapılan Psikoloji
alanına dair araştırmaların metodolojik incelemesini yapmaktır. Araştırma
örneklem olarak Eğitim Psikolojisi (n=44) ve Sosyal Psikoloji (n=40)
alanlarından araştırmalar seçmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda (a) araştırma
metodolojilerinin çoğunlukla positivist ve nicel paradigmalardan etkilendiğini,
(b)araştırmada kullanılan metodolojik yaklaşımları ile araştırmanın amacı ve
araştırma sonuçları arasında zayıf bir ilişki olduğu ve (c) uygulanan süreçte
çoğunlukla dar bir örneklemden tek bir zaman ve mekanda veri toplandığı tespit
edilmiştir. Araştırma bulgular, Psikoloji alanındaki araştırmalar hakkında
bilgi vererek bu alanda metodolojinin nasıl kullanılabileceğine dair
farkındalık yaratmayı amaçlamaktadır.
