Phenomenological Interviewing

Phenomenological interviewing is a research approach used extensively and successfully in the social sciences and has implications for those working with people-plant interactions. Although many research methods are available for horticulturists to use in obtaining information about a target audience, most methods used (e.g., surveys and questionnaires) are quantitative in nature in that they provide numerical data on statistical generalizable patterns. Phenomenological interviewing allows investigators, through open-ended interview questions, to obtain more in-depth data than traditional quantitative techniques. Transcribed interview tapes become the data from which analysis and interpretation follows. “Coding” the data by searching for words, phrases, patterns of behavior, subjects' ways of thinking, and events which are repeated and stand out classify and categorize the data helping with its interpretation and write up. Writing up such data must develop how you interpret what you found by carefully integrating themes that support a thesis and create or augment theoretical explanations. This research method allows investigators to understand and capture the points of view of the participants without predetermining those points of view through prior selection of questionnaire or survey categories.

Phenomenological Interviewing

This study examined how avid gardeners experience a public garden. Phenomenological interviewing was used to collect data from six avid gardeners who frequently visited a public garden. Data about the gardeners' beliefs and actions regarding gardening history, gardening practices, and involvement with public gardens were gathered. From inductive analysis, a model of a gardener's world composed of four conceptual themes: 1) personal history, 2) social connections, 3) human well-being, and 4) learning experiences was delineated. The conceptual themes of a gardener's world are the personal learning constructs through which gardeners experience the plant world. Each of the four conceptual themes influenced how participants in this study experienced a public garden. Participants used a public garden to socially interact with others, enhance their human well-being, strengthen their gardening background, and extend their gardening knowledge and skill. Several subthemes emerged within the four conceptual themes of an avid gardener's world to inform us how gardening plays an integral role in gardeners' lives.

Phenomenological Interviewing

The methods we use to learn about our user communities are critical to shaping our understanding of their library experiences, expectations, and needs. Professional librarians are overwhelmingly white and middle class, which means that we must be particularly thoughtful in how we learn about, learn from, and engage with user communities that have traditionally been underserved. Specifically, we must ensure that we are mindful of learning about underserved user communities from their perspective(s) rather than applying the perspectives of the majority. In academic librarianship, we have learned about traditionally underserved student populations, such as students of color and first-generation students, through quantitative and basic qualitative interviews. While this research has provided an important foundation for understanding the library experiences and needs of these students, it has not provided information about the arc of their library experiences and how their past experiences may shape their present and future library use.In this presentation, we introduce Seidman’s (2013) phenomenological interviewing and how it was modified and applied to two research studies exploring the experiences of traditionally underserved student populations—first-generation students and Black/African-American students—at two large research universities in the Midwest. Phenomenological interviewing requires the researcher to consider the research participants’ histories and lived experiences as they relate to the phenomenon being explored. Seidman outlines a three interview series, which includes understanding the participants’ historical experiences with the phenomenon being explored, their present experiences with the phenomenon, and, finally, a reflection on the meaning of those experiences. In each of the two studies introduced in this presentation, Seidman’s three-interview series was modified to design a 60-75-minute, semi-structured interview protocol.Finally, we highlight significant findings for each of the two studies and discuss how we believe the use of phenomenological interviewing allowed us to gather, analyze, and interpret rich, complex, and nuanced sets of data that contribute to and transform our professional and scholarly knowledge about these user communities.

Phenomenological Interviewing

The aim of this article is to show how reflexology could facilitate phenomenological interviewing by probing the lifeworld of individual participants. It presents a hybrid study of phenomenological interviewing and reflexology as a holistic method of health care. In this sense, it is an interparadigmatic study, since it rests on the interface of Western and Oriental thought. This article reports on seven cases which were included in the qualitative, empirical investigation. During the sessions, reflexological readings served as impetus for inquiry into the experiences of the participants, as congestions on reflex points and along meridians were interpreted in terms of physical organs and functions. These readings were related to corresponding emotions as accepted within the reflexology paradigm. It was, however, up to the participants to inform the researcher of events and/or circumstances that caused the emotions. Thus, nonverbal data communicated information that facilitated verbal exchange concerning the life-world of each individual participant.
