Project: Conceptual and methodological (dis)concontinuities across the psychological study of well-being
Supervisors: Anna Leuschner/ Cécile Stephanie Stehrenberger
Project Summary
In my doctoral research, I examine the empirical study of well-being in psychology from the mid20th century to the present. This investigation explores the (dis)continuities and transformations of concepts, research methods, and institutions within the frameworks of humanistic and positive psychology. Integrating insights from both historical analysis and the philosophy of science, my work aims to reveal the complex interrelationship of conceptual and methodological changes in the empirical study of well-being, with a particular emphasis on values embedded in the concepts within both traditions.
