Abstract
Following the theoretical and methodological trail blazed by the “Duquesne School” (see Garza 2007; Polkinghorne 1989; von Eckartsberg 1998b), this article presents a procedure for phenomenological data analysis. After describing its approach, this article lays out the procedure for thematic collation analysis using the work of Giorgi (1970, 1975, 1985a, 1985b; Giorgi & Giorgi 2003) and this author's thematic moment analysis (Garza 2004) as a point of reference. Idiographic results of a single datum describing an experience of regret are presented along with the steps through which this idiographic thematic narrative was developed. Procedures for arriving at comparative analysis of more than one piece of data are presented and distinguished from claims of generality sought by works drawing on larger data pools. Finally, this work discusses the usefulness of this procedure for lengthy and complex data and situates this procedure within the phenomenological tradition of psychological research.
