Phenomenological Research Methods

Pretty much the gold standard for qualitative phenom research methods. I used this as a guide for my dissertation and found it to be incredibly helpful. It is easy to read, understand, and follow. If you are looking for a book on the topic, this is it!

Very thorough and sequentially realizable. Readily understandable and a must read for any social scientist. A good reference to be kept in any personal library.

A must have when conducting qualitative research and it is very easy to read.

Moustakas is a huge name in the field of transcendental phenomenology, and any serious student of the subject needs to own this book. However, this is not for the casual reader. Phenomenology was originally a branch of philosophy, so Moustakas spends the first 100 pages of his book explaining the philosophy underlying the research method. When he does get into the methodology, he is thorough, but not necessarily crystal clear. To understand how to actually apply this method of phenomenological research, you will need to engage in some careful reading and deep thinking. That said, it is worth the effort. There is a very good reason why this is and has been a major text in the field of phenomenological research.

Excellent book and necessary for anyone doing a phenomenological study. Moustakas is considered the know-all and be-all of phenomenology, so this book is a must. Gives great steps for this type of dissertation design.

After finding several books online that distilled Husserl with errors I was skeptical. Showed this to my mentor and wrote up my chapters and I find this has provided absolute clarity. A savior while writing. You can actually preview quite a bit of it online.

This book is my primary reference for my qualitative phenomenological study for my dissertation. It covers everything from conceptual frameworks to research analyses, implications, and outcomes. A must have for any phenomenological study.

A "must have" for anyone interested in phenomenology. Moustakas has an easy writing style that allows for easy digestion of the material.

An excellent book for anyone carrying out qualitative research. A book recommended by Universities for individuals doing a degree. Supplier was excellent, and I would use them again.

Excellent for my research purposes!

I found this book incredibly helpful in regards to understanding the phenomenological concept of research. It also aided me in structuring my thesis. I did find it hard to comprehend at times, however it was ultimately an irreplaceable tool.

Good book

Classic!
