Phenomenology
Phenomenology is a school of thought
that emphasizes a focus on people’s
subjective experiences and
interpretations of the world.
Phenomenological theorists argue that
objectivity is virtually impossible to
ascertain, so to compensate, one must
view all research from the perspective of
the researcher.
