**Figure 2.2. Relationship between
epistemology, theoretical perspectives, methodology and research methods.
Epistemology= study of knowledge, it is the study of what constitutes valid knowledge
1. Objectivism
2. Constructivism
3. Subjectivism
Epistemology: objectivism
Objectivism: reality exists independently of consciousness – in other words, there is an objective
‘out there’.
Connected to research perspective ‘Positivism’: There is only one reality/truth. Reality can be
measured. Knowledge can be formulated into laws.
Epistemology: constructivism
Constructivism: Truth and meaning do not exist in some external world, but are created by the
subject’s interactions with the world. Subjects construct their own meaning in different ways, even in
relation to the same phenomenon.
Connected to research perspective ‘interpretivism ’: there are multiple realities. Multiple,
contradictory but equally valid accounts of the world can exist. Knowledge is contextual.
Epistemology: subjectivism
Subjectivism: Meaning is imposed by the subject on the object. Subjects do construct meaning, but
do so from within collective unconsciousness, from dreams, from religious beliefs, etc. (Binnen deze

Epistemology: checkbox versus continuüm

Inductive and deductive reasoning
Deductive: Theory – Hypothesis – Data collection – Confirmation, rejection, modification
Inductive: Data collection – Analysis patterns e.g. – Hypothesis – Theory
Example deductive approach: definition stigma
Health related stigma = a social process, experiences or anticipated, characterized by exclusion,
rejection, blame, or devaluation that results from experiences, perception or reasonable anticipation
of an adverse social judgment about a person or group
