Qualitative Phenomenological Research Design

I found this article that incorporates the phenomenology theory as a research method for collecting data; listing examples, characteristics, and limitations. According to DelveTool, a phenomenological study is a qualitative research tool that "studies lived experiences to gain deeper insights into how people understand those experiences".

Below I will attach an excerpt that characterizes phenomenological research design:

  • -Phenomenological research design is descriptive. The researcher aims to describe as accurately as possible the structure of a phenomenon.

  • -Qualitative phenomenological research design aims to uncover what a particular experience means to a group of people and how they experienced it.

  • -This approach requires researchers to set aside their prejudices and a priori assumptions and focus mainly on the immediate experience.

  • -It requires the researcher to first describe the lived experiences objectively and then reflect on the description with reference to the existing theories about the phenomenon.

    In addition, I was thinking in how VR headsets could possibly be a useful tool in better understanding other's' personal experiences via a first person point of view.

Fear Appeal - APA Article

"Fear-Based Appeals Effective at Changing Attitudes, Behaviors After All" This article summarizes a meta-analysis on Fear-Appeal effectiveness. This study looked at 127 research articles on this theory totalling over 27,000 people in 1,962 experiments. "They found fear appeals to be effective, especially when they contained recommendations for one-time only (versus repeated) behaviors and if the targeted audience included a larger percentage of women. They also confirmed prior findings that fear appeals are effective when they describe how to avoid the threat (e.g., get the vaccine, use a condom)." -"Fear-based appeals appear to be effective at influencing attitudes and behaviors, especially among women, according to a comprehensive review of over 50 years of research on the topic, published by the American Psychological Association." -“These appeals are effective at changing attitudes, intentions and behaviors. There are very few circumstances under which...

Fear Appeal In A Medical Setting

From my research, fear appeal is most effective when used in relation to health care, which is why there is such an abundance of its usage in the recent pandemic. I wanted to dedicate a section of the essay to how fear appeal is used in such cases, and list the benefits/consequences that are proposed by various studies. Below I have two lists, The Positives and Negatives that Fear Appeal has in a Medical Setting Positives of Fear Appeal in a Medical Setting -"Threatening health messages are popular in health education design.
