Narrative research is a qualitative research approach that focuses on the study of stories or narratives told by individuals. This type of research aims to understand the lived experiences, meanings, and perspectives of individuals through the analysis of their narratives. Researchers in this field often use interviews or other forms of personal storytelling to gather data, and then analyze these narratives to uncover themes, patterns, and insights about human behavior and experience. Narrative research is often used in fields such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, and education to explore complex human phenomena and provide rich, in-depth understandings of individuals' lives.
