Abstract
ABSTRACT We introduce the Workable Ranges Model (WRM) as a visual map and method for enacting and exploring embodied knowing about stress and emotion regulation. The WRM portrays three core psychophysical states in spatial form. Optimal and flexible regulated states are positioned centrally between two lines representing thresholds of tolerance beyond which are hyperarousal above and hypoarousal below. In developing the WRM as a method of embodied enquiry, we focus on visual techniques of mapping and time-lining. To illustrate the potential of the WRM as a map and method for ‘drawing out’ embodied knowing in research participants, we describe two phases of research in which the facilitation of first-person enquiry for therapeutic purposes doubled as data generation. We then consider how the WRM might be expanded as a research tool across fields interested in similar phenomena including occupational and health psychology, sports science, and food and nutrition. In so doing, we explore three shared methodological features of our example study: (i) visual presentation of the WRM; (ii) facilitated first-person embodied enquiry; and, (iii) multiple data-collection points. The research methods presented could have wide application to describe and understand trajectories to, and experience of, conditions affected by stress and emotion dysregulation.
期刊介绍：
Qualitative Research in Psychology is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality, original research. It aims to become the primary forum for qualitative researchers in all areas of psychology, including cognitive, social, developmental, educational, clinical, health, and forensic psychology. The journal also welcomes psychologically relevant qualitative research from other disciplines. It seeks innovative and pioneering work that advances the field of qualitative research in psychology.
The journal has published state-of-the-art debates on various research approaches, methods, and analytic techniques, such as discourse analysis, interpretative phenomenological analysis, visual analyses, and online research. It has also explored the role of qualitative research in fields like psychosocial studies and feminist psychology. Additionally, the journal has provided informative articles on ethics, transcription, interviewee recruitment, and has introduced innovative research techniques like photovoice, autoethnography, template analysis, and psychogeography.
While the predominant audience consists of psychology professionals using qualitative research methods in academic, clinical, or occupational settings, the journal has an interdisciplinary focus. It aims to raise awareness of psychology as a social science that encompasses various qualitative approaches.
In summary, Qualitative Research in Psychology is a leading forum for qualitative researchers in psychology. It publishes cutting-edge research, explores different research approaches and techniques, and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration.
