“…We selected a critical theory paradigm to guide the study. A critical theory paradigm allowed us to conceptualize participants’ experiences through social and cultural influences, as well as address issues related to oppression (Hays & Singh, 2012; Morrow & Brown, 1994). This paradigm allowed for data collection and analysis through the lens of the social injustices experienced by the population.…”

The purpose of this study was to develop a theoretical model for how counselors integrate multicultural and social justice competency into their work with persons who have offended. A qualitative grounded theory tradition was used to generate an inductive theoretical model for integrating the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCC) into correctional settings. Participants (n = 16) were professional counselors recruited through counseling listservs and snowball sampling who work in prison, residential, jail, private practice, and community mental health settings. The findings revealed the need for ongoing training, multicultural and social justice awareness, and knowledge about structural barriers and systemic oppression.

“…For the purposes of demonstrating how a QuantCrit‐orientation may support researchers in communicating their findings, scholars draw attention here to a few ways findings may be poorly represented, namely oversimplification (i. e., reducing the causes of an event so much that the connections between causes and effects are blurred or buried) and misrepresentation (i. e., the representations of findings to portray an untrue or distorted view of findings; Thiese et al, 2017). These pitfalls are associated with (a) separating critical social theory from findings (i. e., decontextualizing findings); (b) homogenizing diverse groups for analytical and interpretative purposes; and (c) failing to practice transparency in variables, populations, and methods (Morrow et al, 1994). Finally, although common in the presentation of qualitative work, quantitative research may benefit from explicitly considering and disclosing researcher positionality (Bourke, 2014).…”

Historically, research has been used by systems of authority to marginalize and oppress minoritized populations. Family scientists have recently begun the work of disentangling themselves from these oppressive legacies (e. g., White supremacist, sexist, heterosexist, cisgenderist, etc.). As such, the field is at a vital crux in which there is a need to challenge prevailing quantitative methodological assumptions and practices in order to address and disrupt how statistical analyses can shape family sciences away from a social‐justice agenda. Drawing upon principles of critical social theory, critical race theory, and Black Feminist scholarship, this article elaborates on how family scientists can utilize Quantitative Criticalism, or QuantCrit, as a framework for conducting social justice‐orientated quantitative research. We conclude by illustrating how the tenets of QuantCrit can be utilized throughout the research process. It is our hope that readers will identify moments in their own scholarship in which these tenets can be applied.

“…No attempt was made to quantitatively reduce the data, to treat them as adjudicating hypotheses, or to use them for intensive theory construction. Instead, the codes were used to enrich the theory, and to demonstrate its integrative potential, by examining how the abstract processes it specifies manifest in a particular concrete instance (Layder, 1998; Morrow & Brown, 1994). Based on recommendations from O’Connor and Joffe (2020), an iterative process with two independent coders was used to ensure reliability.…”

Foundational theories in social psychology tend to focus on the individual’s phenomenological experience, and to conceive of the environment and the individual as discrete entities. To overcome the ontological and epistemological limitations of such perspectives, we propose a theory rooted in culturally oriented existential philosophy. This sociomaterial force theory of identity emphasizes the reciprocal, historically contingent relationship between broad social and material forces on one hand, and processes of social and individual identity on the other. To concretize the framework, we compare it to current theories (social identity theory and social representations theory) and apply it to a qualitative case study of differences in how religious group members narrate the suffering brought on by natural disaster. We propose the theory can contribute to a more historical, dynamic, and truly interdisciplinary psychology, and would be especially useful for integrating multilevel data on the experience of a particular social group at a specified historical period.
