INTERDISCIPLINARITY AND DIGITAL SKILLS IN PSYCHOLOGY AND COMPARATIVE STUDIES

Summary/Abstract: The present paper explores some aspects related to interdisciplinarity, digital skills and media in relation to psychology and comparative studies research. Both interdisciplinarity and digitalization are realities that traditional disciplines need to accept and adapt to, with the scope of integrating as much as possible study approaches and methods towards the benefits of any discipline. As argued, the success of an interdisciplinary study relies foremost on the manner in which the paradigms, theories and methods are integrated and merge towards the generation of original insights and solid study results, but also on the skills and competences of the researcher or team of researchers. Thus, this article reviews paradigms and approaches to interdisciplinarity and the role of digital skills in contemporary research and comparative studies, drawing on illustrations from psychology, health media, comparative studies and digital humanities, while clarifying significant concepts often used interchangeably.
