Zusammenfassung	Longitudinal autoethnography is a qualitative research design in which the researcher systematically documents, reflects on, and analyzes their own lived experience across an extended period — typically months to years. By combining the self-reflexive focus of autoethnography with a longitudinal temporal structure, this approach reveals how personal meanings, identities, and social understandings evolve over time. It bridges the personal and the cultural, producing richly layered narratives that connect individual transformation to broader social processes.	Longitudinal narrative research is a qualitative design that follows participants across multiple time points, gathering and analyzing their stories to understand how experiences, identities, and meanings evolve over time. Rooted in Clandinin and Connelly's narrative inquiry tradition, it treats human experience as fundamentally storied and temporal — what matters is not just what happened but how people narrate, revise, and make sense of their lives as circumstances change.
