Consider the following scenario:
You are a member of a research team that relies on a postmodernist lens. The research team is interested in submitting a research proposal to study how parents adjust to a pregnancy in an adolescent daughter. In its first meeting, the team is discussing the following topics:
• Their philosophical assumptions as researchers.
• Their roles as researchers.
• Possible methodologies to study the topic.
However, the members are concerned that their postmodernist perspectives will be controversial, and they want to anticipate any challenges by potential logical positivistic researchers.
Present an evaluation of the research team’s position on their philosophical assumptions as researchers, their roles as researchers, and potential methodologies for the study of parental adjustment to pregnancy in adolescent daughters.
