Tiivistelmä: | A general theoretical and methodological framework is provided for understanding autobiographies. It is argued that the autobiographies of applied behavioural scientists are useful research tools, particularly for clarifying the presuppositions underlying applied behavioural science endeavors. The autobiographies and biographies of both social scientists and non-scientists are a source of data for examining social issues, and a means of advancing our knowledge and cultural context. The essay concludes with the major themes of the autobiographies presented in this special issue of the journal. |
