Researching in the field of psychology: some reflections

Abstract

The present work, which is bibliographic in nature, intend to delineate some reflections about research in Psychology, focusing on issues that involve quantitative and qualitative analysis in the social sciences, including the psychological field, since there is a movement in favor of the concomitant use of these two types of analysis, instead of isolated paradigms, signalizing greater breadth of information that the use of multimodal techniques can offer. The objective is to illustrate the research subject in a didactic manner, in order to promote a better understanding, especially for those who are starting in this area of knowledge.
