Chapter 4 reviews contemporary research on psychological writing in order to sketch the possibilities and limits of such prose, rooted in a style of writing that goes beyond “typical” social scientific conventions. Drawing on the author’s reflections of how he chose to write about the lives of exiled Tibetans, he makes the case that this more narrative style is particularly suited to the experiences of those who have been displaced because it allows for a deeper representation of the efforts to understand the effects of profound violence on another person. The author reviews the challenges that come with this sort of writing as well, including the complexities of reflexivity, the emotional components of fieldwork, and the historical legacy of subaltern studies.

Shared methods, procedures, documentation, and data are essential features of science. This observation is illustrated by autobiographical examples and, far more important, by the history of astronomy, geography, meteorology, and the social sciences. Unfortunately, though sometimes for understandable reasons, data sharing has been less common in psychological and medical research. The China Family Panel Study is an exemplar of contemporary research that has been designed from the outset to create a well-documented body of shared social-scientific data.

Mahmud al-Mas‘adi (1911–2004) was a writer, anti-colonial militant and politician from Tunisia. He is known in the Arab world for a particular style of writing and an attempt at linking modern Arabic fiction to its past heritage through language and narrative style. He initiated one of the earliest efforts to engage Sufism in Arabic fiction. Most of his creative writings were drafted in the late 1930s and early 1940s. His books include al-Sudd (The Dam), a play published in 1955 and translated into French, and the two long narratives, Haddatha Abu Hurayra qal… (Abu Hurayra Told Us…), which was partially serialized in 1944 and published in full in 1974 and translated into Spanish, and Mawlid al-Nisyan (The Genesis of Oblivion), serialized in 1945 and published in full in 1974, and subsequently translated into French and Dutch. In addition, he has written critical studies on rhythm in Arabic literature in French and in Arabic as well as numerous articles and lectures.

Journalism style of Tarbawi will be explicit by the opinion of Tarbawi editors that found byin depth interview. The result showed the news construction of Tarbawi on covering humanity issues tend to focused on personalproblem with more space for moral evaluation based on Islamic values. The contemplative and narrative writing of Tarbawi showed itsconscience journalism. The moral judgments always underlie Tarbawi coverage.

Abstract. Although the development of research competency is an important goal of higher education in social sciences, instruments to measure this outcome often depend on the students’ self-ratings. To provide empirical evidence for the utility of a newly developed instrument for the objective measurement of social-scientific research competency, two validation studies across two independent samples were conducted. Study 1 ( n = 675) provided evidence for unidimensionality, expected differences in test scores between differently advanced groups of students as well as incremental validities over and above self-perceived research self-efficacy. In Study 2 ( n = 82) it was demonstrated that the competency measured indeed is social-scientific and relations to facets of fluid and crystallized intelligence were analyzed. Overall, the results indicate that the test scores reflected a trainable, social-scientific, knowledge-related construct relevant to research performance. These are promising results for the application of the instrument in the evaluation of research education courses in higher education.

This chapter explores movement and circulation across the Mediterranean and seeks to contribute to a history of proto-nationalism in the Maghrib and the Middle East at a particular moment prior to World War I. The discussion is particularly concerned with the interface of two Mediterranean spaces: the Middle East (Egypt, Ottoman Empire) and North Africa (Morocco), where the latter is viewed as a case study where resistance movements sought external allies as a way of compensating for their internal weakness. Applying methods developed by Subaltern Studies, and linking macro-historical approaches, namely of a translocal movement in the Muslim Mediterranean, it explores how the Egypt-based society, al-Ittihad al-Maghribi, through its agent, Aref Taher, used the press as an instrument for political propaganda, promoting its Pan-Islamic programme and its goal of uniting North Africa.
