Hello:
I have two doubts I hope anyone can help me with :)
1. Is there an actual difference between descriptive and interpretative phenomenology?
2. I am developing a mixed methods project with sequential exploratory design in which the results of the qualitative phase will serve to the development of an intervention that will be tested trought a quantitative phase. So, the objective of the QUAL phase is to explore how patients with fibromyalgia experience pain and poor sleep quality. Mainly, my objetive is to focus on the cognitive (meaning) and behavioral (symptom management strategies) factors related with pain and sleep in the context of fibromyalgia. DO YOU THINK A DESCRIPTIVE PHENOMENOLOGICAL INQUIRY WOULD BE APPROPRIATE?
Thank you :)
I agree that phenomenology could be a good basis for an exploratory sequential design, but I personally do not think that mixed methods work on phenomenology shows much understanding about the varieties of phenomenology. Still, you might look at:
"Toward a conceptualization of mixed methods phenomenological research."
