A practical guide to using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis in qualitative research psychology
Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) has become a popular methodological framework in qualitative
psychology. Studies based in IPA focus on examining how individuals make meaning of their life experiences.
A detailed analysis of personal accounts followed by presenting and discussing the generic experiential themes
is typically paired with the researcher’s own interpretation, which is an expression of double hermeneutics in
practice. IPA draws upon phenomenology, hermeneutics, and idiography. This paper presents fundamental
principles behind IPA and offers guidelines for doing a study based on this framework.
