Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA): A Qualitative Methodology of Choice in Healthcare Research (2008, background): “The paper now moves to consider how the researcher employs IPA (for a more extended treatment of how to do IPA, see, e.g., Smith & Osborn, 2008).”
Sporting embodiment: sports studies and the (continuing) promise of phenomenology (2009, background): “See Smith (2004) and Smith and Osborn (2003) for good discussions of IPA.”
A critical evaluation of the use of interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) in health psychology (2006, background): “A final possibility suggested by Smith (2004) is increasing analysis of the single-case study.”
Evaluating the contribution of interpretative phenomenological analysis (2011, background): “For further discussion on pushing interpretation deeper, see Smith (2004).”
Engaging Phenomenological Analysis (2014, unknown): “Further, with IPA additional layers of interpretive and/or reflexive processing are actively encouraged (see Smith 2004), something which would be seen as unwarranted in descriptive phenomenology.”
Women, Anger, and Aggression (2008, unknown): “Smith (2004) suggests that researchers “imagine a magnet with some of the themes pulling others in and helping to make sense of them” (p. 71).”
Reflecting on the Use of IPA with Focus Groups: Pitfalls and Potentials (2010, methodology): “Thus, Smith’s caution about the suitability of IPA with focus groups seems largely geared toward whether individuals will feel able to discuss potentially sensitive issues in the presence of others (Smith 2004).”
Alcohol and the self: An interpretative phenomenological analysis of the experience of addiction and its impact on the sense of self and identity (2009, methodology): “In addition, as Smith (2004) contends, that ‘the very detail of the individual also brings us closer to significant aspects of a shared contribution to furthering our understanding of experience and its meaning.”
The lived experience of students with an invisible disability at a Canadian university (2013, background): “According to Smith (2004), interpretive phenomenological analysis provides an understanding of the participants’ experiences through an analysis that is idiographic, inductive, and interrogative.”
Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis: An Appropriate Methodology for Educational Research? (2018, background): “It has even been argued that a single participant study could be justified, providing they can generate a particularly rich or compelling case (Smith, 2004).”
Interpretative phenomenological analysis (2008, methodology): “We have been increasingly advocating the case study in IPA (e.g. Smith, 2004) and hope to see increasing numbers of case studies conducted.”
