Abstract
Zusammenfassung: In der Sozialpsychologie werden immer neue Effekte berichtet, ohne dass sie in ubergreifende Theoriekonzepte eingebettet werden. Dieses Verhalten fuhrt letztlich zu Theorienarmut. Hier soll nun eine Methode, die quantitative Rekonstruktion, vorgestellt werden, mit deren Hilfe Dateninformationen besser ausgeschopft und so vergleichbare Effekte in einen theoretischen Zusam- menhang gestellt werden konnen. Theorie und Durchfuhrung der quantitativen Rekonstruktion werden am Beispiel der kognitiven Dis- sonanztheorie gezeigt. Dabei wird ein Informationsintegrationsmodell entworfen und gezeigt, dass die Dissonanztheorie durch die Er- gebnisse der quantitativen Rekonstruktion ganz neu bewertet werden kann. Schlusselworter: quantitative Rekonstruktion, Methodologie der Sozialpsychologie, Dissonanztheorie, Informationsintegration Quantitative Reconstruction as an Instrument in the Methodology of Social Psychology Abstract: In social psychology, more and more effects are reported without embedding these effects into a widespread theoretical concept. In the end, this behavior leads to a poverty of theories. In this article a new method is introduced, quantitative reconstruction. With its help, data information can be utilized to the full potential and by doing so comparable effects could be connected to one theoretical context. Theory and realization of quantitative reconstruction are demonstrated by the example of the theory of dissonance. A model of information integration is constructed and it is shown that the theory of dissonance can be reinterpreted because of the results of quan- titative reconstruction.
期刊介绍:
The sociology journal Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie (KZfSS) ("Cologne Journal of Sociology and Social Psychology") was founded in 1948 by the Cologne sociologist Leopold von Wiese as the Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie. His successor, René König, broadened the journal''s scope towards social psychological topics, including cultural sociology and qualitative social research, which gave the journal its current name.
KZfSS is the most important sociological publication in the German-speaking world in terms of its scope and distribution. It publishes comprehensively on German sociological research in all disciplines and regularly communicates research results from many countries around the world.
KZfSS follows the model of a universal sociology journal. In addition to more than 40 double-blind peer-reviewed original research articles per year, it publishes detailed literature reviews and book reviews of German and international literature in a comprehensive review section. The journal thus provides a forum for sociological research and open discussion. Special emphasis is placed on offering young colleagues an opportunity for their first publication.
The journal is included in many renowned scientific Abstracting & Indexing databases such as the Social Science Citation Index.
In addition to the four annual issues, a supplement coordinated by guest editors is published annually.
