Within this additional content chapter, we introduce Critical Discursive Psychology (CDP), a methodology developed by Wetherell (Discourse & Society, 9, 387–412, 1998) that explores how language constructs identities and shapes meaning, while attending to broader socio-historical contexts that influence what is considered socially acceptable to say or not to say (Wiggins, Discursive psychology: Theory, method and applications, Sage, 2016). It examines how discourse reproduces societal ‘common sense’ and reinforces power imbalances (Edley and Wetherell, British Journal of Social Psychology, 38, 181–194, 1999; Wiggins, Discursive psychology: Theory, method and applications, Sage, 2016). To help showcase its applied value, throughout the following pages, we use CDP as a means of understanding how adolescents talk about and make sense of sexting.

摘要

Within this additional content chapter, we introduce Critical Discursive Psychology (CDP), a methodology developed by Wetherell (Discourse & Society, 9, 387–412, 1998) that explores how language constructs identities and shapes meaning, while attending to broader socio-historical contexts that influence what is considered socially acceptable to say or not to say (Wiggins, Discursive psychology: Theory, method and applications, Sage, 2016). It examines how discourse reproduces societal ‘common sense’ and reinforces power imbalances (Edley and Wetherell, British Journal of Social Psychology, 38, 181–194, 1999; Wiggins, Discursive psychology: Theory, method and applications, Sage, 2016). To help showcase its applied value, throughout the following pages, we use CDP as a means of understanding how adolescents talk about and make sense of sexting.
