Insider research, i.e. research that the researcher conducts on a population, community, or identity group of which he or she is himself or herself a member, has been gaining popularity in psychological research in recent years. A subject of lively debate in the literature is the importance of the researcher’s characteristics shared with the research participant: life experiences, specific aspects of identity, traits, skills, or attitudes. This article summarises current knowledge on insider research and draws attention to the importance of analysing the psychologist researcher’s insider and outsider status. The article begins with an outline of the history of consideration of the importance of the researcher’s status in the social sciences and four main strategies for researchers to approach their insider status: minimizing and maximizing its importance, incorporating their experiences into the research material, and using them at different stages of the research process. Then, using the example of the author’s research project, it is shown how the last strategy can be applied during narrative research in planning the study, recruiting participants, conducting interviews, and analysing the data. The final part of the text is a consideration of the ethical dilemmas surrounding the conduct of insider research.

Classical concepts of human development elaborated in the 20th century do not take into consideration the normative development of homosexual people. On the other hand, the depathologization of homosexuality has resulted in an increase of knowledge about gays’ and lesbians’ performance and health. The process of homosexual identity formation, usually beginning in adolescence, has been recognized and well described in the field of psychology. However, this knowledge is rarely integrated with general theories of human development. The article presents the developmental challenges of adolescence and points out the limitations and possibilities of Erikson’s theory in incorporating the experiences of homosexual adolescents. The authors discuss the specific difficulties minority adolescents face growing up in a heteronormative culture and the main stages of homosexual identity formation. The article ends with a reflection on the possibility of integrating the concept of homosexual identity development with Erik Erikson’s theory of identity crisis and its potential solutions in adolescence.
