“Positivism Creep” “The subtle, often unacknowledged infiltration of positivist or post-positivist assumptions into methodologies where they do not naturally, philosophically, practically, or epistemologically belong.” By @thomasgraves.bsky.social @maddipow.bsky.social @annayahprosser.bsky.social

Many developments to reform the research landscape have occurred over the past decade. These changes have been made with broad goals to improve the ‘openness’ of research and often assumed to be ‘methodologically -agnostic’; that is, they ostensibly have benefits for all researchers occupying all epistemological and methodological positions. ‘Open science’ initiatives such as study pre-registration (i.e., specifying research aims and analytical plan ahead of data access), open data sharing, open-access publication, and open materials sharing are becoming increasingly mainstream across many fields within social research and the natural sciences. While there has been much criticism of these interventions, largely from the qualitative research community, we want to draw attention to a troubling trend in the promotion of open science: the leaking of standards relevant only to quantitative research to all paradigms. Or, as others refer to it, “positivism creep”. Here, we situate positivism creep (i.e., the creeping of positivist conventions to all research) within research policy, we highlight its increasing prevalence within open science reforms, and we warn against a future which could alienate many non-positivist scholars. We argue that the primary framing of open science as the pursuit of reproducibility and objectivity risks promoting positivism creep in the social sciences and humanities. In particular, we suggest that overly strict open research requirements placed by funders may reduce the range and variety of epistemological positions that can be taken by researchers, with particularly deleterious effects for qualitative researchers.

I have a lifelong inflammatory condition, and used to research lifelong inflammatory conditions. It's been 10 years, and I still find ways my reflexivity shapes my knowledge of literature and how I engage with it. 1/2

I'm excited to share a Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Qualitative Research in Psychology on New developments and good practice in reflexive thematic analysis co-edited by me, @ginnybraun.bsky.social @eileenjoy.bsky.social and Lisa Trainor. Please contact any of us if you have any questions.

Special issue of Qualitative Research in Psychology Edited by Virginia Braun, Victoria Clarke, Eileen Joy and Lisa Trainor Call for papers New developments and good practice in reflexive thematic analysis The year 2026 is the 20th anniversary of the publication of the paper Using thematic analysis in psychology in Qualitative Research in Psychology. This paper has gone on to be the most cited qualitative methodological paper of all time according to an analysis by the journal Nature. Reflexive thematic analysis (TA) has transformed the practice of qualitative research in and beyond psychology. This Special Issue will mark this anniversary by exploring good practice and new developments in reflexive TA. We invite both full length papers and shorter commentaries and reflections from psychology and related disciplines. Potential topics include: • The use of reflexive TA to analyse visual and multimodal data • Is an N of one possible? The use reflexive TA in case study research • Beyond consensus and theme agreement: Strategies for using reflexive TA when there is more than one analyst • The use of reflexive TA in creative and arts-based research • The use of reflexive TA in Indigenous research • The use of reflexive TA in participatory designs (including participants as co-analysts) • Extensions of reflexive TA (e.g., frameworks and guidance for interpretative analysis) • Reviews of good (and poor) practice • Combining reflexive TA with other approaches (e.g., combining reflexive TA and narrative analysis; reflexive TA and discourse analysis) • “Behind the scenes”: Reflections on doing reflexive TA • Using reflexive TA in constructionist, critical realist or mixed methods research • Can reflexive TA be a feminist method? A queer method? A critical race theory method? • Doing deductive reflexive TA

The real problem isn’t the student; it’s the University of Oklahoma. If they don’t know how to handle this, it shows a lack of character and leadership in higher education, which is not what you would expect from people in those positions. Both, the essay and the way it was handled are a flunk.

At least for today, we need to understand three things: 1) Acetaminophen does not cause autism. 2) The State of Israel ≠ Jews ≠ people who live in Israel. 3) Hamas ≠ Palestinians.

A great talk by @ginnybraun.bsky.social on GenAI and qualitative analysis. Can GenAI do reflexive TA? The short answer is no - reflexive TA is a human practice. Should we use GenAI as qualitative researchers given all the harms of the tech? If you're remotely concerned with social justice ... no???

Uncharacteristcally long 🧵 (sorry) re: #Qualitative methodologies, science, and 'AI'. As Qualitative researchers, we should definitely care and remain curious about what 'good work' can look like - but we should be very wary about assuming that a focus on 'rigour' will address this question. 1/13
