Originating from unfunded research undertaken in 2007, this paper offers an overview of Colaizzi's method of phenomenological analysis and proposes an extension to the original seven step approach enhancing rigour and, expanding information sources to enhance in-depth descriptions of phenomena for study.
The focus on human experience emanates from the human sciences in which the everyday lived world of humans constitutes the ontological and epistemological focus of enquiry - understanding of human experiences. Since the emergence of phenomenology as a method of enquiry, advances in phenomenological thought and research methods have emerged.
Colaizzi's phenomenological method of enquiry was used as the basis of enquiry in this study.
The extension to Colaizzi's method of analysis emanated from recent research conducted by the authors to allow participants to express their experiences through everyday language. These 'expressions of life' included - art, music, poetry, metaphor as symbolic representations - as a vehicle for participants' to explicate their experiences.
The additional step proposed as an extension to Colaizzi's seven step analysis offers researchers using Colaizzi's method greater access to implicit and explicit meanings embedded in participant descriptions by utilising 'expressions of life' - art, music, poetry, metaphor as symbolic representations - as articulated by the participants in explicating their experience of the phenomenon.
本文源自2007年开展的一项自筹资金研究，概述了科莱齐的现象学分析方法，并提议对原有的七步法进行扩展，以提高严谨性，并扩大信息来源，以增强对研究现象的深入描述。
对人类体验的关注源自人文科学，在人文科学中，人类的日常生活世界构成了探究的本体论和认识论焦点——对人类体验的理解。自从现象学作为一种探究方法出现以来，现象学思想和研究方法都有了进展。
本研究采用科莱齐的现象学探究方法作为探究基础。
对科莱齐分析方法的扩展源自作者最近开展的研究，该研究允许参与者通过日常语言表达他们的体验。这些“生活表达”包括——艺术、音乐、诗歌、作为象征表现的隐喻——作为参与者阐释其体验的一种手段。
作为对科莱齐七步分析法扩展而提出的额外步骤，为使用科莱齐方法的研究人员提供了更大的机会，通过利用“生活表达”——艺术、音乐、诗歌、作为象征表现的隐喻——来获取参与者描述中隐含和明确的意义，这些“生活表达”由参与者在阐释其对该现象的体验时进行了阐述。
