narrative research

Narrative research is a method of collecting and analyzing stories people tell about their experiences. It focuses on understanding how individuals make sense of their lives through the narratives they create. Researchers gather these personal stories through interviews, writings, or recordings, and then examine the themes, meanings, and contexts within them. This approach highlights the importance of subjective experience and helps reveal insights into human behavior, culture, and society, ultimately offering a deeper understanding of how we construct and share our identities through storytelling.
