Σύνοψη	Longitudinal Biographical Research (LBR) is a qualitative approach that combines in-depth biographical or narrative interviewing with a repeated, time-extended data-collection design. Participants are interviewed at multiple time points — sometimes years apart — so that researchers can trace how individuals construct, revise, and re-narrate their life stories as circumstances change. The method captures both the content of life histories and the dynamic process through which meaning is made and remade over time.	Narrative inquiry is a qualitative research methodology that treats stories and life narratives as primary data, analyzing how individuals construct meaning and identity through storytelling. Developed by D. Jean Clandinin and F. Michael Connelly (2000), narrative inquiry examines the narratives people tell about their lives, experiences, and transitions, understanding that people make sense of experience through narrative.
