Insular sensation or synthetic experience
Until the shaken snowglobe settles
Previous research establishing the connection between social media and well-being is particularly relevant in light of findings of increased social media use during the COVID-19 pandemic. While research has fairly consistently established a relationship between media use, anxiety, depression and other indices of well-being, it has been less consistent in tying these variations to technology and user related factors. Researchers advocating for the…
Why Teach? A Project-ive Life-world Approach to Understanding What Teaching Means for Teachers
Previous literature has examined teachers’ motivations to teach in terms of intrinsic and extrinsic motives, personality dimensions, and teacher burnout. These findings have been cast in the rubric of differences between teachers and non-teachers and the linear relations between these measures among teachers. Utilizing a phenomenological approach (Giorgi, 1970) to analyze data generated in structured interviews with four tenured professors from s…
What's in a Name? Exploring the Impact of Naming Assignments
Past research has examined how various elements and style of a syllabus influence students’ perceptions of the class. Furthermore, students’ learning and grade orientations have been shown to impact academic performance and effort. We sought to add to this literature by exploring how an assignment’s name might impact estimates of time to be spent on and the importance of the assignment. We also explored the separate interaction effect of the atti…

Meanings of Compulsive Hoarding
Existential phenomenological research in the Duquesne school has been rooted in experiential research but also includes what von Eckartsberg (1998b) and Garza (2007) have described, respectively, as hermeneutic or archival research (for more detailed accounts of this lineage, see Polkinghorne 1989; Smith 1983, 2002; and von Eckartsberg 1998b). In such research, human cultural objects such as films, novels, and, in this case, television shows are …
Thematic Collation
Following the theoretical and methodological trail blazed by the “Duquesne School” (see Garza 2007 Garza, G. 2007. Varieties of phenomenological research at the University of Dallas: an emerging typology. Qualitative Research in Psychology, 4: 313–42. [Taylor & Francis Online] , [Google Scholar]; Polkinghorne 1989 Polkinghorne, DE. 1989. “Phenomenological research methods”. In Existential-phenomenological perspectives in psychology: exploring the…
Beyond Neurobiological Reductionism
This paper examines the neurobiological explanatory trend in psychology, including the related and tacit roles of ontological materialism and reductionism. In addition, the role of Cartesian dualism in both psychology and cognitive neuroscience is explored. In both, the complex relationships between mind/brain and mind/body tend to be conceptualized through the framework of either ontic dualism or attribute dualism, both of which ultimately const…
Varieties of Phenomenological Research at the University of Dallas
This article seeks to describe what characterizes phenomenological research as ‘phenomenological,’ especially in relation to the more general term, ‘qualitative research.’ Following research techniques being developed at the University of Dallas as a legacy of the ‘Duquesne school’ of phenomenological research, this article presents Giorgi's description of what he takes to be central features of a phenomenological method: description, use of the …
Thematic Moment Analysis
Following in the theoretical and methodological roots of the ‘Duquesne school,’ this work presents a procedure for the phenomenological analysis of narrative data. After describing its ‘approach,’ this work lays out the procedure for ‘thematic moment analysis’ using the work of Giorgi as a point of reference. Idiographic results of single datum of being afraid are presented along with the steps through which this ‘idiographic thematic narrative’ …
