'Phenomenological Theory' relating to personality


This site labeled Psychology is very detailed in explaining the phenomenological theory and how it interacts with people's personalities. I found two important points that help summarize its important arguing points. 

"Phenomenological theorists focus on two kinds of subjective experience."

1)"The first is how people experience themselves in relation to others."

2)"The second kind of experience is what might be called internal monitoring, or people’s intuitive sense of their own inclinations."


The article continues to mention Existentialism, which is a version of Phenomenological theory that primarily focuses on loneliness, isolation, and death; thus relating to an 'existential crisis'. I found this very interesting simply because this theory can drastically change results/course depending on the mentality of those being studied.
