Lived experience

Inqualitative phenomenologicalresearch,lived experiencerefers to the first-hand involvement or directexperiencesand choices of a given person, and theknowledgethat they gain from it, as opposed to the knowledge a given person gains from second-hand or mediated source.^[1]^[2]It is a category of qualitative research together with those that focus on society and culture and those that focus on language and communication.^[3]

In the philosophy ofWilhelm Dilthey,thehuman sciencesare based on lived experience, which makes them fundamentally different from thenatural sciences,which are considered to be based on scientific experiences.^[4]The concept can also be approached from the view that since every experience has both objective and subjective components, it is important for a researcher to understand all aspects of it.^[5]

In phenomenological research, lived experiences are the main object of study,^[6]but the goal of such research is not to understand individuals' lived experiences as facts, but to determine the understandable meaning of such experiences.^[7]^[8]In addition, lived experience is not about reflecting on an experience while living through it but is recollective, with a given experience being reflected on after it has passed or been lived through.^[9]

The term dates back to the 19th century, but its use has increased greatly in recent decades.^[10]
