Interviews and observation are often the preferred methods when psychologists conduct fieldwork. However, psychology can learn from recent developments in anthropology and sociology. Here researchers use their own embodied sensations in participatory research as a way to investigate less verbalized, more hidden, sensorial, and affective aspects of the life-worlds they are studying. In this article, I use case examples from research on privileged migrants (expatriates) to demonstrate how significant insights can emerge when we apply an embodied approach in our research. Migration is not only behavioral, social, verbal, or imaginative events but includes the migrant’s body—its sensory experiences and emotions. Thus, we need to embrace additional methods to investigate multifaceted psychological processes such as migration.

心理学中的具身民族志：外派移民研究的学习要点

当心理学家进行实地调查时，访谈和观察通常是首选方法。然而，心理学可以从人类学和社会学的最新发展中学习。在这里，研究人员在参与式研究中使用他们自己的具体感觉，以此来调查他们正在研究的生活世界中较少语言化、更加隐蔽、感官和情感方面的方面。在本文中，我使用来自特权移民（外派人员）研究的案例来展示当我们在研究中应用具体方法时会产生多么重要的见解。移民不仅是行为、社会、语言或想象事件，还包括移民的身体——感官体验和情感。因此，我们需要采用其他方法来调查多方面的心理过程，例如迁移。
