“…Techno‐moral vignettes based on future scenarios can be used to present information in a meaningful context (van Baalen et al , ). Experiences from the past demonstrate that it could be challenging for experts to discuss questions and concerns that they regard as outside their field of expertise (Radstake et al , ). However, it may be that this is exactly what publics expect from experts: to take responsibility for the topic in a broader sense, by including, for example, economic or political issues.…”

“…There are previous examples of online dialogues, such as the one organized by a Dutch online magazine about parenting that discussed extending the common storage period of blood from standard neonatal screening beyond five years; it failed at least partly because experts had considered these encounters with the public as merely a diagnostic tool to get information on that publics’ opinions, questions, and concerns (Radstake et al , ). Instead, they found themselves confronted with public appeals to critically reflect on their own attitudes with regard to—as they felt—”off‐topic” issues brought up by the public (Radstake et al , ).…”

“…The citizen's perspective sets peoples' needs and voices at the core of the dialogue between science and society. In psychology, similar to other fields in the social sciences and humanities, we can find similar trends in engaging target populations within the process of research [design, interpretation of the results, and/or validation and reliability (Radstake et al, 2009;Davies et al, 2008)]. These studies look forward advancing toward a more responsible interaction of psychology with society, including dialogue with vulnerable populations, for instance, indigenous people (Davidson et al, 2000), or patients with acute decompensation of psychiatric pathology (Moreno-Poyato et al, 2019).…”

Communicative Methodology: Contributions to Social Impact Assessment in Psychological Research

et al. 2020

Recent advancements in the social impact assessment of science have shown the diverse methodologies being developed to monitor and evaluate the improvements for society as a result of research. These assessment methods include indicators to gather both quantitative and qualitative evidence of the social impact of science achieved in the short, medium, and long terms. In psychology, the impact of research has been mainly analyzed in relation to scientific publications in journals, but less is known about the methods for the social impact assessment of psychological research. Impact assessment in the domains of educational psychology and organizational psychology presents synergies with bottom-up approaches that include the voices of citizens and stakeholders in their analyses. Along these lines, the communicative methodology (CM) emerges as a methodology useful for the communicative evaluation of the social impact of research. Although the CM has widely demonstrated social impact in the social sciences, less is known about how it has been used and the impact achieved in psychological research. This article unpacks how to achieve social impact in psychology through the CM. In particular, it focuses on the theoretical underpinnings of the CM, the postulates linked to psychological research and some key actions for the implementation of the CM in relation to the design of Advisory Committees, working groups, and plenary meetings in research. Furthermore, it shows how the CM has been implemented in illustrative cases in psychological research. The article finishes with a conclusion and recommendations to further explore the ways in which the CM enables the social impact of research in psychology.

“…This type of multimodality enabled us to analyze how different modes of interaction relate with each other, and how communication and social relations differ between varying modes of interaction. Previously, much of the analysis on informal PES has focused either on face-to-face interaction [5,6] or on internet-mediated dialogue [7].…”

Framing engagement: expert-youth interaction in a PES event

Previous studies on public engagement with science have identified various difficulties in the encounters between experts and lay people. However, there is a scarcity of research investigating expert-youth interaction. In this paper we focus on the interactive framings of an informal PES event. Based on a case study involving a climate change panel discussion and a simultaneous online chat, both aimed at young people, we discuss the multiplicity of framing. Further, we look for “misbehaviours” which challenge the rationality and norms of the event. Our findings indicate that the frame of deliberative participation is very fragile.
