2     Research Activities

 

 

My research career has covered several domains which are underpinned by a common theoretical framework:

the relationship between social/cultural and individual factors in the understanding and construction of meaning  

My work is broadly within developmental, social and cultural psychology.  Much of it has focused on adolescence.

 

I  classify my contributions under four interlocking webs of enterprise:

• theory:

     theory of development

     theory of culture and the individual, language, rhetoric and metaphor

     contributions to moral theory

     contributions to feminist theory

• values, morality, politics and citizenship:

     moral development and ethics

     relationship between  moral, political and social values 

     activism and citizenship

• gender:

     the psychological effects of stereotyping

     gender and values

     cultural metaphors : gender, rationality and science

• science and culture: public engagement with science:

     role of metaphor in innovation, representation and change

     public image, cultural representations,  and metaphors of science

 

 

2.1 An overview

 

2.1.1     Theoretical orientations

My research career began in  moral psychology, with the question:

    how does  moral reasoning develop.

This was addressed within the framework of cognitive developmental theory, primarily within the tradition of Piaget and Kohlberg. Initially, my work in this field was directed to refining the theory of development, and to exploring the relationship between moral reasoning and development in other domains of reasoning, particularly political and social reasoning. My research career began with a British replication of Lawrence Kohlberg's classic US study of stages of moral reasoning in male adolescents. In 1980-81 I worked on analysis of Kohlberg's rich longitudinal dataset. Subsequently I have collected several sets of data on moral reasoning in adolescents and young adults, and have written extensively on theoretical issues in moral development and ethical theory, and on the application of this to the theory and practice of moral education. I have also explored gender and cultural issues in moral reasoning, both empirically and theoretically.

 

My major research question then became:

    what happens when meaning is negotiated between persons, and how does the individual interact with culture? 

I made a critical shift to social constructionism and especially the importance of language and social  processes in the construction of meaning,  seeing the individual  as  actively  making sense of the world, through constant negotiation of meaning with others in interpersonal interaction, and embedded within a cultural context,  and looking at dialogic and rhetorical processes.

 

A particular field of current concern is metaphor, and its role in individual cognition (especially innovation and creativity), in interpersonal communication, and in reflecting culturally-comprehensible models for explaining experience.

 

 

2.1.2 Values, morality and politics

My work on political development began by exploring the relationship between political reasoning and moral reasoning [1980-86]. Several large-scale questionnaire studies yielded material on the relationship between a wide range of political, economic and social beliefs and values, and their relationship to gender issues, environmentalism and post-materialism. A particular finding was the fragmentation of the Right, and how this maps on to the diversity of current feminist positions.

 

I became interested in political and social activism, and in 'extraordinary moral responsibility' and the factors which facilitate this. I developed a model analysing coping and defence in the face of threat, and how these relate to the precipitation of activism and political commitment. ..

 

I worked on communitarianism which presupposes that moral concepts are formulated in  social processes, and therefore, the developmental 'goals' are the ethical management of social interactions. This forefronts the social context of individual reasoning.

 

In 1999-2002 I was part of an OECD initiative to develop 'future competences'. This involved a multi-disciplinary team generating a theoretical framework to underpin future OECD policy on broad educational issues relating to competence. I was the psychology 'expert' on that team.

 

My more recent work has focused on critical issues in, and blueprints for, citizenship education.  My Leverhulme Fellowship (2003-2004) enabled me to lay the foundations for a book on Citizenship.  I am part of an 11 nation consortium currently seeking funding for an EU project on citizenship and young people.

 

2.1.3     Gender and feminist theory

My initial work in gender was located within the 'socialist-feminist' perspective. This addressed achievement  motivation and anxiety about success amongst girls and young women.   My more recent work addresses gender through a critical social constructionist perspective.

 

My interest in social and cultural processes led me to the research questions:

    how the individual actively constructs the meaning of gender

    how this is negotiated in interpersonal interaction 

    how cultural resources  present particular narratives and explanations for gender roles. 

 

 This work involved analysis of language, symbol and especially, metaphor.  A major argument of my 1993/4 book The Sexual Metaphor is that the duality of gender maps on to the much deeper cultural metaphor of dualism which permeates Western thinking, and both reinforces it and is reinforced by it.

 

I have recently written on the psychological and philosophical issues in different feminisms, and on how our concept of 'the human' is intertwined with the metaphors of gender.  My other research fields, moral and political development, and science and culture, have also been extensively informed by the question of gender.

 

 

2.1.4     Science and culture: the role of language and metaphor

My third strand of work, science and culture, began with my investigations of sex stereotyping of science. This data revealed cultural images of science and scientists. Iit was clear that images of science were closely aligned with conceptions of rationality and culturally sensitive dualities like reason and emotion, order and disorder. This led to research questions, particularly

    how does the individual's  use of metaphor reflect culturally-available schemas,

   how these shape explanations and evaluations. 

 

I became involved specifically in work on dinosaurs as metaphors and cultural icons.

 

My current research questions concern 

     metaphor as an integral part of the development and dissemination of      scientific ideas 

    how scientific developments feed back into culture, offering new  metaphors and frameworks for commonsense thinking, as well as feeding across  disciplines  .

 

My recent work explores these in the context of science and culture, through studying the images of science and scientists portrayed in science fiction films, the relationship between this and public anxieties about science, and how these map on to beliefs about hubris and human beings' relationships with nature.  I have also studied adolescents' images of science and scientists, and gender dimensions of these. Most recently I have been writing on dialogue in the context of science and society.

 

 

2.1.5 The Nestlé Social Research Programme

 

Since January 2004 I have been Research Director of the Nestlé Social Research Programme.

The Nestlé Social Research Programme is an activity funded by the Nestlé Trust, the corporate responsibility branch of the food company. The Programme's objectives are to do relevant research on young people.  I am the Research Director and have primary responsibility for choosing ,the topics, designing the projects, overseeing the data analysis and writing the reports.  The data collection and initial data analysis is done by MORI on nationally representative samples of between 850 and 1150 young people aged 11-21. 

 

The reports are written in highly accessible language and are aimed at policy makers, government, members of parliament, and other relevant stakeholders eg in industry, learned societies, education etc. Around 3500 are circulated to this audience.  They have all received extensive press coverage.  Two of the reports (#1 and #4) have been the subjects of presentations to the Smith Institute, held at No 11 Downing Street, to an invited audience of senior members of the stakeholder communities, and members of parliament and the House of Lords.
