| Summary: | <p>This work explores the potential of discursive and narrative psychology research in studying the digital social space. From the perspective of the methodology of science, discursive and narrative psychology are aligned with social constructivism. In the studies of Russian science methodologists, social constructivism is framed within the context of post-nonclassical psychology and is linked to the ideas of the classics of Russian psychology. Therefore, it is recommended to draw upon the contributions of Russian psychologists when studying the digital social space. In choosing between discursive and narrative approaches, it is important to define the focus of the potential study. If the psychological analysis is focused on studying digital communication and interactions, the discursive approach is the most effective. It is emphasized that psychologists use traditional discourse analysis methods, such as intent analysis and conversational analysis, to study digital sociality. The search for new methods of studying digital empirics is driven by the use of computational linguistics techniques. However, if the psychological analysis is focused on studying the “digital personality” and identity, the narrative approach is recommended.</p> |
