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.

可工作范围模型：“绘制”具体知识的地图和方法

摘要：我们介绍了可工作范围模型（WRM），它是一种视觉地图和方法，用于制定和探索关于压力和情绪调节的具体知识。WRM以空间形式描绘了三种核心心理咨询师状态。最佳和灵活的调节状态位于两条线之间的中心，这两条线代表容忍阈值，超过这两条阈值的是高唤醒和低唤醒。在开发WRM作为一种具体探究方法的过程中，我们专注于映射和时间排列的可视化技术。为了说明WRM作为一种“提取”研究参与者具体知识的地图和方法的潜力，我们描述了研究的两个阶段，在这两个阶段中，为治疗目的进行第一人称询问的便利性与数据生成的便利性加倍。然后，我们考虑如何将WRM作为一种研究工具扩展到对类似现象感兴趣的领域，包括职业和健康心理学、体育科学以及食品和营养。在这样做的过程中，我们探索了我们的示例研究的三个共同的方法学特征：（i）WRM的视觉呈现；（ii）方便的第一人称具体询问；以及（iii）多个数据收集点。所提出的研究方法可以广泛应用于描述和理解受压力和情绪失调影响的情况的轨迹和体验。

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.
