This article presents the tradition of phenomenologically founded psychological research that was originally initiated by Amedeo Giorgi. This data analysis method is inseparable from the broader project of establishing an autonomous phenomenologically based human scientific psychology. After recounting the history of the method from the 1960's to the present, we explain the rationale for why we view data collection as a process that should be adaptable to the unique mode of appearance of each particular phenomenon being researched. The substance of the article is then devoted to a detailed outline of the method's whole-part-whole procedure of data analysis. We then offer a sample analysis of a brief description of an ordinary daydream. This is an anxiety daydream in response to the recent Covid-19 pandemic. We present this daydream analysis in full to show the concrete hands-on 5 step process through which the researcher explicated the participants' expressions from the particular to the general. From this brief sample analysis, the researcher offers a first-person reflection on the data analysis process to offer the reader an introduction to the diacritical nature of phenomenological psychological elucidation.
本文介绍了最初由阿梅代奥·乔吉发起的基于现象学的心理学研究传统。这种数据分析方法与建立一门基于现象学的自主人类科学心理学的更广泛项目密不可分。在讲述了该方法从20世纪60年代至今的历史后，我们解释了为何将数据收集视为一个应适应所研究的每个特定现象独特呈现方式的过程的基本原理。文章的实质内容随后致力于详细概述该方法的数据分析整体-部分-整体程序。然后，我们提供了一个对一个普通白日梦简短描述的样本分析。这是一个针对近期新冠疫情的焦虑白日梦。我们完整呈现这个白日梦分析，以展示研究者从特殊到一般阐释参与者表达所经历的具体的五步实操过程。通过这个简短的样本分析，研究者对数据分析过程进行了第一人称反思，为读者介绍现象学心理学阐释的批判性本质。
