Longitudinal Hermeneutic Analysis/Evidence
Method evidence record

Longitudinal Hermeneutic Analysis

Longitudinal hermeneutic analysis combines the interpretive depth of hermeneutics with repeated data collection across time, tracing how meanings, understandings, and interpretations evolve within individuals, texts, or communities. Rooted in Gadamerian and Ricoeurian hermeneutics, this approach treats meaning as temporally situated and subject to revision, making it particularly valuable in humanities and social science research that seeks to understand change in lived interpretation over months or years.
