Tiivistelmä	Longitudinal life history research follows the same participants across multiple points in time, collecting repeated in-depth accounts of how their life stories evolve, how they narrate past events differently over time, and how biography intersects with social change. It combines the interpretive depth of life history methodology with the temporal sensitivity of longitudinal design, capturing both the content of lived experience and its unfolding across the life course.	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.
