- Summary:
- This issue aims to define and describe exemplar research methods, and to provide the case for their importance in revealing aspects of human functioning and its development, which are often neglected within traditional, mainstream psychology and allied disciplines. Further, this issue provides a glimpse into the growing depth and breadth of exemplar research within and beyond the moral domain. It also provides insight into some of the complex contextual issues that emerge when studying human phenomena from this methodological perspective. Finally, a critical commentary is provided to help the reader determine the full value and limits of this research approach. Book jacket.
