Reflexões ético-políticas de questões metodológicas de pesquisa em psicologia: problema e objetivos

This text aims to reflect on research objectives and problems from an ethical-political dimension, from the perspective of critical social psychology. We depart from a problematization exercise that understands the problem and research objectives as situated practices. Thus, some important elements of this thinking exercise – formulation of objectives and problems – are pointed out from experience and the barriers that should be considered. Experience and barriers appear in the text as strategies to affirm research as an ethical-political bet. The idea is to reflect how these ethical and political dimensions are coextensive to the problem and the objectives of the research as well, thereby affirming the situated character, thus, the implications of all the movements we carry out during the research processes.
