Thank you so much for this presentation! I am currently writing an essay for my Msc that is due in 3 days and I've been really stuck in knowing if I have designed the qualitative research proposal in a way that will get me the mark I need. I've just bought your book but I won't be able to read it in time. I hope to finish my 2nd year so your book will come into use in my 3rd year.
Wow, this was so informative and easy to follow. Thank you so much Dr. Anil

Isabella from Italy :)
Hi Isbella, I am glad you enjoyed my presentation!
Thank you so so much
Thank you! This is so helpful.
I am glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks to Anupam for asking some very compelling questions as they pertain to IPA. They go to the very heart of this novel approach. I'll try to field these questions in a day or two.
Thank you, Dr. Behal! Very detailed and useful presentation. I have now got a better understanding of IPA. I find that IPA has lots of resemblance to Hermeneutics Phenomenology. My question is that, can the IPA analytic process be used for Hermeneutics Phenomenology data analysis? Thank you.
Thanks a lot! In order for me to help, please email me at abehal@email.fielding.edu
Thanks for the wonderful presentation, I'm going to study the Determinants of patient experience for specific population, I don't feel that I need to get deep to the experience in their visit to the clinic but about what's more important to them when they visit the clinic.
I assume that ipa is not appropriate for that.... what do you think?
Thanks again for the wonderful presentation
I stumbled on this presentation and, my word, it's fantastic and beautiful. I learned so much about IPA. It will certainly help my research as I'm doing a study using IPA.
Thank you Dr Behal
May I contact you please?
Yes please get in touch with me via email at abehal@email.fielding.edu
Thank you for sharing this very helpful presentation! It is interesting that this methodology would only be useful to study remote experiences. Would it be completely unsuited in the study of ongoing experiences?
You are right. IPA is a retrospective account of what has transpired in the past. Participants recount their lived experiences of a given phenomenon with the researcher who uses her own lens to make sense of what the participant is making sense of. We call this the "double hermeneutic." There really is no such thing as "here and now" in phenomenology. The moment you begin to have someone reflect on their "here and now" as in present experiences, they have already slipped into the past. We are always too late in capturing the here and now. There is an approach that you can use to capture what you are suggesting as the here and now experience. It requires a customized study design and a somewhat different methodological approach. Contact me at abehal@email.fielding.edu if I can be of help!
Thank you, Dr. Behal! Listening to your video session helped me revisit concepts that I've read and yet understand them in a new light. Currently, I'm pursuing my Doctoral studies and am deploying IPA for analyzing my area of study. It would be great if I could connect with you regarding this. Thanks again!
Please email me privately at abehal@email.fielding.edu
Sir i have another question. Can i use IPA for understanding two phenomena within the same Ph.D thesis. For eg: What is it like to have a particular kind of disability in an abled world and also what meanings are ascribed to the experiences of availing services from institutions serving needs of disabled
Hi, Dr. Behal, Is bracketing needed in IPA? Because in Hermeneutic Phenomenology suspends the biases through Bracketing in the process of the interpretation of the data. Thank you very much.
"Bracketing" is always very useful while conducting interviews and collecting phenomenological data. It's no different in hermeneutic phenomenology and IPA.
In IPA we wouldn't usually take the view that it is *possible* to suspend your biases, so wouldn't usually use bracketing per se in IPA. It is useful to engage in reflexive practices (throughout the project, not just prior to it), but with an aim to understanding and managing your biases, rather than excluding them altogether.
@@michaelarkin Reflexivity is about understanding how the researcher (wittingly and unwittingly) impacts and is being impacted by the research. In my opinion, bracketing is, in and of itself a reflexive process.
Hi Dr. Behal, thank you so much for providing this very knowledgeable video. I am curious to know that if the researcher herself can also be a participant of the IPA research?
While some phenomenological studies are written as though one were conducting a research on oneself, IPA is different in that you are researching participants in order to collect rich and evocative data through their retrospective accounts. If you, as a researcher also took on the role of a participant, you would introduce a lot of bias; not that IPA is quantitative in nature. The researcher must assume a paradoxically bilateral relationship with the participant, which implies that there are 2 dimensions: the observer and the observed. I hope this helps. If you'd like to talk about this some more, or need my help with IPA, please email me directly at abehal@email.fielding.edu

Thank you so much Sir. I have one query ie. Is IPA used only for past lived exeperience centering a phenomenon only? Or can it be used for analysing ongoing living experiences centering a phenomenon like say the experience of a certain kind of "disability" which is still going on?
I have the same question!!
Same question
IPA can be used to research on-going conditions/experiences. I think Dr Behals point, with which I agree, is that you can only ask about things that have already happened :)
My latest book on IPA was just published on Amazon. Here's the link: www.amazon.com/dp/B0948N42PD?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860
Sir, Thankyou. The powerpoint was really helpful.
I have a basic question and that is, How long (duration) should an interview be in IPA, approximately?
Hello Ayesha, I am glad that you liked my IPA presentation! Can you please email me at abehal@email.fielding.edu so that I may provide you with some clarity on your question?
Sir, while doing phenomenological study do we need to give importance for socio-demographic variables
In phenomenological studies, the researcher typically looks for and recruits a "purposive sample" of participants who have direct lived experience with the phenomenon. A good sample is representative of the life-world of those who have experienced the phenomenon. For instance, if you are researching a phenomenon such as the "lived experience of unwed mothers raising a child in a single family household," your research participants are all unwed mothers who are raising children, regardless of where they are located, what social class they belong to etc. Your focus is on exploring the lived experience of these unwed mothers. If you have other questions, please feel free to email me at: abehal@email.fielding.edu
Hey Mr Behal I have an assessment to do on IPA analysis can you help me in counselling ?

Sir, What do you mean by turnkey approach? Can you please explain how is it ready to use?
Great question, Nikhil. IPA is a structured approach to phenomenological data collection/analysis in what can be otherwise, a highly unstructured and convoluted field of inquiry. While some may argue that phenomenology as a philosophy of research does not lend itself to structure, the latter is often something that novice researchers need in order to understand the essence of a phenomenon. IPA is a well-thought out, turnkey approach with distinct steps, as opposed to a methodology. It rests on several theoretical pillars such as phenomenology, hermeneutics, and idiography, which gives it a somewhat scientific flavor.
@@AnilBehal Thank you, Sir
Another question that i have is that if I use IPA then what should be our ontological and epistemological assumptions? Say can i say my ontological preference is subjectivism and epistemological preference is social constructionism?
Hi Anupam, I have received your email and sent you a detailed reply! Please acknowledge my email. Thanks!
Phenomenological writers inc Heidegger generally try to avoid being labelled 'subjectivist'. It would miss the whole point of his project, which was to discard the Cartesian (dualist) notion of subject/object. Epistemology, an idea (a knowing 'subject') is also, thus, problematised by Heidegger (preferring ontology). And then, I doubt Husserl would consider himself a social constructionist, because he pursued invariant essences (i.e. empirical reality). In other words, no, I wouldn't do what you suggest since it misconstrues the philosophical underpinnings of IPA.
Dr. U have a software for data coding? Thank u
I don't! Please try NVivo or Atlas
Thanks Dr. Anil, this is really useful and much appreciated.
I am wondering if we can use IPA for ongoing phenomena or just for past experiences?!
Thanks
Phenomenology in general and IPA in particular have to do with retrospective (past) accounts of experiences and episodes. There are other methodologies that study here-and-now experiences, such as those that deploy Gestalt which is about the "totality of an experience" to include the present.
@@AnilBehal I have a doubt. once I am done collecting the data, I will always analyze it much later. will it not be alright to use phenomenology? Then it becomes the accounts of what I have experienced. I will add meaning to it as per my experiences then. so will it not be my 'lived experience' of what I felt to be there at the moment in the world of my participants as well as adding meaning to what I feel they felt? what I mean is, every analysis we do will always be of either our or our participants' 'lived experiences'. so why can't we use it?
@@saheliganguly1771 Try not to confuse participants' "lived" experience with researcher reflexivity. For sure, your experiences as a researcher certainly count, but they are not the focus of the research study. It's all about their experiences as recounted in their own words. You are only telling their story, NOT your own! I hope this clarifies your doubt!
@@AnilBehal I understand. But if I am observing people one that happens in the case of participant observation, then? in that case, they are not providing me their understandings of their world. it is how I am understanding them.
@@saheliganguly1771 I think you may need to revisit your understanding of phenomenology and IPA. IPA does not deploy participant observation in the way that you are conceptualizing it. Don't confuse it with action research and ethnography. Knowledge is co-created by the participant and researcher, who together share a paradoxically-bilateral relationship. The researcher is not observing the participant, per se. Both are immersed in the stories and narratives around the lived experience of participants.
so if my research is lived experience, the method I should use is IPA?
Jane, IPA research is always about the direct "lived experience" of something. That something is known as the study phenomenon. If you need more clarity, please email me at abehal@email.fielding.edu

Sir, I have mailed you my query.
I got your urgent inquiry and am responding to it now!
@@AnilBehal thank you, Sir. Will be of great help!
@@trishnachaudhuri4705 Please check your email. I just responded to you!
Where are limitations of ipa?
I'm not sure I follow you, but then again I didn't watch the whole video. My understanding of this method is that we as researchers are interested in the experience of the participant which the participant is trying to understand and verbalize and which we as researchers in turn try to understand from their understanding and verbalization. This means that the actual experience is available to us through a double hermeneutic. The consequences of this is that, although we must stay grounded in our data, our results are inevitably an interpretation. Even the participants account of the experience is an interpretation. And we are not interested in the participants account per se, but rather the participants experience.
I encourage you to watch the entire presentation, Navid. You are essentially saying what I am saying in this video. But you have to go through the entire thing in order to understand its nuances.
@@AnilBehal thank you, I will continue watching.
@@AnilBehal Excellent video. Thank you for your patience. As I have been familiar with the philosophy of IPA, your translation into a kind of practice was very helpful and illuminating. Thank you.
