Abstract

ABSTRACT

Existing guidance on evaluating the quality of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) research has provided criteria to assess work as good, acceptable or unacceptable. Given that IPA has become a well-established member of the qualitative methods repertoire, we think it is valuable now to focus in much more detail on the particular qualities that are the hallmark of high quality IPA research. Here we present four such qualities which are discussed in detail and illustrated through the use of exemplars from excellent IPA work. The qualities are: constructing a compelling, unfolding narrative; developing a vigorous experiential and/or existential account; close analytic reading of participants' words; attending to convergence and divergence. Finally, the four qualities are briefly considered in relation to the theoretical underpinnings of IPA.

在解释性现象学分析(IPA)中取得卓越成就:高质量的四个标志

现有的关于评价解释现象学分析(IPA)研究质量的指南提供了评估工作好坏、可接受或不可接受的标准。鉴于国际音标法已成为定性方法的一个完善的成员，我们认为现在有必要更详细地关注作为高质量国际音标法研究标志的特定质量。在这里，我们提出了四种这样的品质，并通过使用优秀的国际音标作品的范例进行了详细的讨论和说明。这些品质包括:构建引人注目的、展开的叙事;发展一个强有力的经验和/或存在主义的叙述;参与者话语的近距离分析阅读;关注收敛和发散。最后，简要讨论了这四种品质与国际音标的理论基础的关系。

It aims to become the primary forum for qualitative researchers in all areas of psychology, including cognitive, social, developmental, educational, clinical, health, and forensic psychology. The journal also welcomes psychologically relevant qualitative research from other disciplines. It seeks innovative and pioneering work that advances the field of qualitative research in psychology. The journal has published state-of-the-art debates on various research approaches, methods, and analytic techniques, such as discourse analysis, interpretative phenomenological analysis, visual analyses, and online research. It has also explored the role of qualitative research in fields like psychosocial studies and feminist psychology. Additionally, the journal has provided informative articles on ethics, transcription, interviewee recruitment, and has introduced innovative research techniques like photovoice, autoethnography, template analysis, and psychogeography. While the predominant audience consists of psychology professionals using qualitative research methods in academic, clinical, or occupational settings, the journal has an interdisciplinary focus. It aims to raise awareness of psychology as a social science that encompasses various qualitative approaches. In summary, Qualitative Research in Psychology is a leading forum for qualitative researchers in psychology. It publishes cutting-edge research, explores different research approaches and techniques, and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration.
