Abstract: Ethnomethodology and conversation analysis (EMCA) sit in a curious relationship with psychology; with their agnostic stance regarding inner cognitive states and a preference for studying human behaviour through the examination of naturally occurring social interaction rather than laboratory experimentation (de Ruiter & Albert, 2017). In contrast, recent years have seen the emergence of many psychological studies providing experimental validation and support for some of the core tenets and findings of CA (Kendrick, 2017). This panel proposes a twist on this; through EMCA studies of psychological methods, work and practice- a relatively neglected area of investigation. Existing EMCA studies of work and practice in experimental psychology focus on two main aspects. First, a focus on the “handling” and “interpretation” of data. For example, the multimodal practices involved in the collaborative organisation of interpreting brain scans (Alač, 2011). Another group of studies focuses on the “production” of data, by focusing on what happens during psychology experiments. These studies explore various aspects of researcher-participant interaction including, how subjects resist experimenters’ authority (Hollander, 2015); how subjects come to an understanding of what the experiment involves (Kobayashi Hillman et al., 2017), and the in situ accomplishment of methodological concerns such as demand characteristics (Wooffitt, 2007). Despite focusing on a range of different types of experimental psychology, all these studies reflect a common theme- a re-specification of method as an interactive and practical accomplishment (Greiffenhagen et al., 2015). They focus on the social organization and situated nature of psychological research. This panel welcomes contributions of empirical EMCA studies of psychological practice and work. The panel will focus on a range of different psychological disciplines, such as cognitive neuroscience, developmental and social psychology. The panel will explore the interactive, situated and social underpinnings of psychological knowledge production. References Alač, M. (2011).
