Obviously, what needs to be done is to apply the Phenomenological "Eidetic Reduction" to this study....



"Method: Bracket all incidental meaning and ask: what are some of the possible invariate aspects of this experience?"

"The research process involves reflective inquiry into "concealed" meaning while reconciling universality and particularity by holding them in tension. The researcher asks: What makes this experience uniquely different from other related experiences? In the eidetic reduction one needs to see past or through the particularity of lived experience toward the iconic universal, essence or eidos that lies on the other side of the concreteness of lived meaning. The idea of phenomenological essence or eidos does not refer to some immutable universal or generalization about human nature of human life. This would be committing the fallacy of essentialism."
