Some Thoughts on Research in Psychology

Abstract

Although apparently unanimity exists in the definition of Psychology, in fact, various concepts co-exist which have their basis in very dfferent postulates, this produces a wide diversion in the methodology and the subjects investigated.

This dispersion justifies the usefulness of revising the definition of psychology, as well as availing of an integrated theoretical mark, which helps to orientate psychological research.

The main differential characteristics of the theoretical conception proposed by E. Ribes, based on the work of Kantor, showing some of the changes that should be introduced

in investigation, are summarized.
