What is phenomenological research design?

Phenomenological research design is a qualitative research methodology that aims to explore how people give meaning to their personal experiences. It seeks to understand the essence of a particular phenomenon or experience, by examining the lived experiences of individuals who have experienced it. Phenomenological research design focuses on what people perceive, feel, think, and believe about a particular phenomenon, rather than looking for generalizations or objective truths. It usually involves in-depth interviews, observations and analysis, with the goal of gaining a deep understanding of the subjective experiences of participants.
