This comprehensive volume provides an unprecedented illustration of the potential for visual methods in psychology. Each chapter explores the set of theoretical, methodological, as well as ethical and analytical issues that shape the ways in which visual qualitative research is conducted in psychology. Using a variety of forms of visual data, including photography, documentary film-making, drawing, internet media, model making and collages, each author endeavors to broaden the scope for understanding experience and subjectivity, using visual qualitative methods.
The contributors to this volume work within a variety of traditions including narrative psychology, personal construct theory, discursive psychology and conversation analysis, phenomenology and psychoanalysis. Each addresses how a particular visual approach has contributed to existing social and psychological theory in their topic area, and clearly outline how they carried out their specific research project. The contributors draw on qualitative sources of verbal data, such as spoken interview, diaries and naturalistic conversation alongside their use of visual material.
This book provides a unique insight into the potential for combining methods in order to create new multi-modal methodologies, and it presents and analyses these with psychology specific questions in mind. The range of topics covered includes sexuality, identity, group processes, child development, forensic psychology, race, and gender, making this volume a vital contribution to psychology, sociology and gender studies.

Emergent technologies are pushing the boundaries of how both qualitative and quantitative researchers practice their craft, and it has become clear these changes are dramatically altering research design, from the questions researchers ask and the ways they collect data, to what they even consider data.
Gathering a broad range of new developments in one place, The Handbook of Emergent Technologies in Social Research offers comprehensive, up-to-date thinking on technological innovations. In addition to addressing how to effectively apply new technologies-such as the internet, mobile technologies, geospatial technologies (GPS), and the incorporation of computer-assisted software programs (CAQDAS) to qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches to research projects-many chapters provide in-depth examples of practices within both disciplinary and interdisciplinary environments and outside the academic world in multi-media laboratories and research institutes. Not only an authoritative view of cutting-edge technologies and their applications, the Handbook examines the costs and benefits of utilizing new technologies on the research process, the potential misuse of these techniques for methods practices, and the ethical and moral dimensions of emergent technologies, especially with regard to issues of surveillance and privacy.
The Handbook of Emergent Technologies in Social Research is an essential resource for research methods courses in various fields, including the social sciences, education, communications, computer science, and health services, and an indispensable guide for social researchers looking to incorporate emerging technologies into their methods and practice.

This session will explore how different methods can be used to stimulate ideas, encourage participation and discussion and lead to awareness. Karen will draw on and present material from a large four-university project to discuss the roles that different kinds of creative methods might play in contributing to community cohesion in the context of partnership working. Each of the methods discussed emerged from a project in which staff from four Universities were required to collaborate in working on projects in collaboration with – and driven by – community groups. Karen will consider the innovative methods as a creative means of engaging community members; as a method of recording data; as an intervention to resolve a tension in the community; and as a means of dissemination.
Participants in the presentation include university staff working on the projects; people from different migrant groups; people living in areas of urban regeneration. Through discussion of the techniques used we hope to identify the power of visual and creative methods versus the written word; as means of developing awareness or ‘conscientisation’; and the limitations of taking such an approach when working across different communities.

Problem gambling is a ‘hidden addiction' which has a significant health impact on gamblers and their families (Corney and Davis 2010). Gambling within the student population goes largely undetected (Ladouceur 2004). Whilst supporting the needs of the student community with problems associated with other addictions e.g. alcohol is well documented, there is little available that addresses gambling-related harm. This research aimed to raise levels of awareness of gambling-related harm as an issue within the higher education community through the exploration of attitudes and behaviour of students and staff and to develop resources that emerged from core input from the higher education community as the key agents of change.
Action Research (AR) is a form of self-reflective enquiry (Carr and Kemmis 1986). It is cyclical; it is participative—all are active participants in the research process and it is a reflective process.
Semi-structured interviews were completed with representatives from Students Unions, Counselling and Student Advice centres in two North-west universities to ascertain the potential scale of gambling-related harm and current provision by support staff. The first AR cycle revealed that: data on gambling-related harm are not collected routinely or consistently; it is difficult for staff to identify when students have a gambling addiction without disclosure and staff supporting students need training around available resources.
The second AR cycle explored student attitudes and behaviour related to gambling which were captured using focus groups with support staff and students. This revealed that there is a lack of awareness of what types of support services are available inside and outside universities for gambling and other addictive-related behaviours; there is a perception that gambling is on the increase due to targeted marketing and increased accessibility through the internet and that accessing support for a gambling addiction needs to be available in anonymous formats (e.g. online) and promoted covertly (e.g. stickers inside toilets).These findings informed the development of resources to support students and staff.
