This has provided me so much clarity!I’m preparing to submit my proposal to IRB for a narrative inquiry study but was not sure of how to analyze the interview data. I was aiming towards qualitative content analysis but was told it’s not a good method of analysis for narrative inquiry studies.
I'm so glad to hear this helped provide clarity! We have articles on both qualitative content analysis and narrative analysis if you wanted to dive deeper into those topics: delvetool.com/blog/contentanalysisdirected delvetool.com/blog/narrativeanalysis
Videos on the types of phenomenology, paradigms in qualitative research (critical theory, constructivism, postpositivism etc), explain ontology, methodology, epistemology, ethnography
That’s a great idea, we don’t have that tutorial currently, but you can check out our blogs on thematic analysis ( delvetool.com/blog/thematicanalysis ) and content analysis ( delvetool.com/blog/contentanalysisdirected )
Thanks for the super video It is really helpful. am doing PhD and I used Langdridge framework critical narrative analysis (composed 6 stages). How can I do my analysis. May you please let me know ASAP. Kind Regards
Hello. Thank you for this video. By the way, if I understand it correctly, you can code your narratives using the structure framework "Doing Narrative Analysis" from Wendy Patterson (If you opt to use the deductive method), right?
Hi! I have a question. Is it possible to do narrative analysis when the only participant is the researcher himself/herself? Or does it really require the researcher to look for other people to do this method? Thanks!
Certainly, narrative analysis can be effectively conducted with the researcher as the sole participant, particularly through autoethnography. This method involves the researcher analyzing their own personal experiences to uncover broader insights. It emphasizes the importance of reflexivity, where researchers critically examine their own biases and perspectives to ensure their analysis transcends personal narratives to touch on universal themes. While this approach provides rich, detailed insights, it requires careful consideration of subjectivity and ethical concerns, making reflexivity crucial for meaningful analysis. Some of this video may be as relevant, particularly the parts where you are finding patterns across narratives. So the approach may need to be adjusted some as it's presented here. This video assumes that you are interviewing more than one person
@@tahanancinema yeah you certainly can. Narrative analysis tends to work with less data. With thematic analysis with authoethno, you'd want to probably collect a fair amount of data. And maybe even across a number of different mediums. You may also want to collect information over time. Thematic Analysis is quite a flexible methodology so it definitely can work. Full disclosure I don't have direct experience with doing autoethnography and Thematic Analysis, but it definitely could work. You may want to put a heavy focus on reflexivity, and may want to consider recruiting someone to be a peer debriefer
In comparing the different narrative blocks, do i have to include both similarities and dissimilarities of the narrative blocks in the core narrative? PS. I am currently working with my undergraduate thesis. 🤧
Yes definitely! Similarities and dissimilarities will make your core narratives rich and nuanced. Or you may decide to group your narratives into more than one core narrative. Just be careful not to have too many core narratives, which can be tempting but make for an unfocused conclusion.
There are many forms of both narrative analysis and discourse analysis so there are many differences depending on which variant of each you are using. But if I would to answer this question simply I would say that discourse analysis is how people use language to discuss topics in a broader social context. While narrative analysis focuses more on how individuals build meaning through narrative. That being said you could incorporate narrative analysis and discourse analysis in the same study. Let me know if that answers your questions! You can also read more about each in our articles: Discourse Analysis: delvetool.com/blog/discourseanalysis Narrative Analysis: delvetool.com/blog/narrativeanalysis
Thanks for your question! There isn't any one official way to do narrative analysis, so I wouldn't say that 13 steps is wrong. I think it's a question of do you find the steps helpful, or do you find that it is overly complex and prescriptive? (and well, perhaps most importantly, does it make sense what they are proposing).
The information is great. The closed captioning is horrible. I have a friend in my class who is deaf. She could not watch this video. Someone should check this.
Narrative analysis focuses on the stories people tell to make sense of their experiences, whether it's one person or a group. It's an umbrella term covering various methodologies for exploring the story itself and the meaning behind it. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) also explores personal experiences but dives deeper into how individuals perceive and interpret these experiences. There's overlap between the two, but while narrative analysis looks at the story itself, IPA focuses more on individual meaning and interpretation.

Please make a tutorial on difference between content and thematic analysis.
Many thanks 😊

Great explanation and graphics! Thank you so much!

Glad you enjoyed the video! We’re not aware of that analysis framework, do you have a reference we can take a look at?
Fascinating, thank you so much!

@@DelveTool Thank you so much! Can the same be done to thematic analysis if the sole participant is the researcher thru autoethno?

Good day, can i ask what is Narrative Blocks? how do i make transcript into Narrative Blocks? Can i ask for example?. Thank you and god bless.
In comparing the different narrative blocks, do i have to include both similarities and dissimilarities of the narrative blocks in the core narrative?

What's the difference between narrative and interpretative phenomenological analysis?
Narrative analysis focuses on the stories people tell to make sense of their experiences, whether it's one person or a group. It's an umbrella term covering various methodologies for exploring the story itself and the meaning behind it. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) also explores personal experiences but dives deeper into how individuals perceive and interpret these experiences. There's overlap between the two, but while narrative analysis looks at the story itself, IPA focuses more on individual meaning and interpretation.
