Zusammenfassung

Innerhalb von wenigen Jahrzehnten hat das Internet zahlreiche Lebensbereiche einschneidend verändert. Dieser Beitrag beleuchtet entsprechende Auswirkungen auf die psychologische Forschung und diskutiert Möglichkeiten qualitativer Forschungsvorhaben mithilfe internetbasierter Ansätze. Insbesondere die Besonderheiten von qualitativen Online-Interviews und Online-Beobachtungen werden näher beleuchtet und traditionellen Forschungsmethoden gegenübergestellt. Der Beitrag schließt mit einem Ausblick auf künftige technologische Entwicklungen wie Echtzeitmessung mittels Smartphones und der Analyse von Big Data in der Psychoinformatik, welche den Methodenkanon für qualitativ tätige Forschende erweitern.
