In qualitative phenomenological research, lived experience refers to a representation of the experiences and choices of a given person, and the knowledge that they gain from these experiences and choices.[1][2] In the philosophy of Wilhelm Dilthey, the human sciences are based on lived experience, which makes them fundamentally different from the natural sciences, which are considered to be based on scientific experiences.[3] In phenomenological research, lived experiences are the main object of study,[4] but the goal of such research is not to understand individuals' lived experiences as facts, but to determine the understandable meaning of such experiences.[5][6]
