ABSTRACT This article provides a description of the presence of qualitative research in Italian social and organisational psychology. The first section of the article identifies three major phases of qualitative methods and the factors that, from the 1990s, played a major role in their development: the legitimisation of qualitative research in sociology, the rising of theoretical perspectives expressing a critical stance toward the hegemonic quantitative and experimental approach of the discipline, and the demand for qualitative studies from public and private clients. In the second section, we present a review of the scientific articles published in the last five years. Our analysis shows that the health field stands out as having the greatest number of publications, both for social and organizational psychology; the absolute prevalence of the interview as a data collection method; and that Grounded theory, Discourse analysis, and Conversation analysis are the most cited references for data analysis. We discuss these results in relation to the set of rules that regulates the careers of researchers in Italy (and abroad), and to the only partial acceptance of qualitative research in Italian psychology.

社会和组织心理学的定性研究：意大利方式

摘要 本文描述了意大利社会和组织心理学中存在的定性研究。文章的第一部分确定了定性方法的三个主要阶段以及自 1990 年代以来在其发展中起主要作用的因素：社会学中定性研究的合法化，表达对霸权主义的批判立场的理论观点的兴起。该学科的定量和实验方法，以及公共和私人客户对定性研究的需求。在第二部分，我们回顾了过去五年发表的科学论文。我们的分析表明，健康领域在社会和组织心理学方面的出版物数量最多；访谈作为数据收集方法的绝对流行；扎根理论、话语分析和对话分析是数据分析中引用最多的参考资料。我们讨论了这些结果与规范意大利（和国外）研究人员职业的一套规则，以及对意大利心理学定性研究的唯一部分接受。
