I am just working on my MA dissertation using interpretative phenomenological analysis and my supervisor is not familiar with this method. So, that makes it harder for me, therefore I am using any support that I can find.

​@@gabima4892 I hear you. I highly recommend Dr. People's book: How to Write a Phenomenological Dissertation A Step-By-Step Guide. It truly helped me! Very important to remember the interpretations as first-hand lived experiences not opinions (like phenomenology studies). That's why I picked this methodology for my work. Super essential for exploratory work... Best wishes!!!

yes, you can. Those would be two additional lenses to look through. You would just need to tie them together and discuss how they all "communicate" with one another.

@@drkatpeoples, but the main one we tie the second theory to is the Hermeneutical Circle?

@@AlvinMoton the hermeneutic circle is a concept within hermeneutic phenomenology so the second theory is not tied to that in itself. It is a secondary theory that is used in parallel with hermeneutic phenomenological theory. The hermeneutic circleis is a concept that describes the process of understanding alone.

@@drkatpeoples, where do I add that this is a Hyper Study? You stated to add this but I was not sure where to do so. could I add it to the title of the study? but not clear where else to add...

@@AlvinMoton You would not need to say that is is a hybrid study. Just note it in your dissertation throughout when referring to your method. For example, if you were utilizing chaos theory as an additional theory, your method would be a "Hermeneutic Phenomenological-Chaos Method" or a "Hermeneutic Phenomenological-Chaos Theory Study" - however you want to name it. The title of the study would note that this is a hybrid study and not a pure hermeneutic phenomenological method.
