Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of this course is to become familiar with, apply and critically reflect on different observation methods. Two observation methods with different research methodological alignments are available:
(1) Psychoanalytic, empirical-qualitative observation method 'Young Child Observation' based on the Tavistock concept (Adamo & Rustin, 2014; Datler et al. 2014)
(2) Empirical-quantitative observation method 'Attachment Q-Sort' (Ahnert et al., 2012; Waters, 1995)

In small groups, students will become familiar with one out of the two observation methods and apply it independently. In this course, students acquire knowledge about the development and application of the respective observation method under scientific supervision.
In addition, we will reflect on both research methodology, underlying similarities and differences, and scientific quality criteria. We will explore possibilities but also limits of observation methods in research.
Using the example of the two observation methods, a broad knowledge of the prerequisites, possibilities and limits of qualitative and quantitative observation methods is developed, and fields of application are specified.
