Abstract

The sociocultural research orientation promises to rebuild psychology into an interdisciplinary science. The central question addressed by this approach is that of relations between persons and their sociocultural activity contexts (individual-society antinomy). In this process, psychology's tendencies to 'methodological individualism' are contrasted with its opposite ('methodological collectivism'). The sociocultural orientation attempts to overcome the individual-society antinomy through an emphasis on cultural mediators, which empower persons to undertake novel actions and communicate about them.
