Starting with a phenomenological reflection on the relationship of\u00a0researchers to psychological phenomena, in the present paper I constructed a\u00a0non-realism approach to psychology, proposed to have \u201csituatedness\u201d as a target\u00a0phenomenon for psychological research, and provided a method of analysis for\u00a0disclosing it. Situatedness can be described as a particular life involvement\u00a0wherein one is situated such that things appear in certain manners and,\u00a0accordingly, one manages them in certain ways. In hermeneutical\u00a0phenomenological thinking, due to its nature of being a source of meaning to\u00a0things that are encountered in our lives, situatedness must be treated in\u00a0accordance with characteristics of a phenomenological phenomenon. A\u00a0phenomenological phenomenon indicates that which makes something seen as\u00a0such but at the same time does not show itself. Situatedness is precisely that from\u00a0which we see things with their certain meanings, and at the same time, that which\u00a0remains hidden away from our awareness. Accordingly, I also articulated the\u00a0corresponding interpretative methodology, describing in detail the operations of\u00a0each step of analysis, and demonstrating these operations with examples. This\u00a0construction of situatedness to be a target phenomenon for psychological research\u00a0is an effort to go beyond positivist epistemology and methodology in psychology\u00a0and open up a new realm for psychological knowledge and research.<\/p>\n
