Muhtasari	Critical Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (Critical IPA) is a qualitative approach that combines the double-hermeneutic interpretive work of standard IPA with an explicit critical lens, examining not only how participants make sense of their experience but also how power, social structures, ideology, and systemic inequalities shape that experience. It retains the ideographic, person-centred rigour of IPA while asking whose interests are served and what is silenced or constrained.	Interpretive phenomenology is a qualitative research design that investigates the meaning people attribute to their lived experiences by combining phenomenological description with hermeneutic interpretation. Rooted in Heidegger's ontology and systematised for social and human sciences by Max van Manen, it moves beyond description to ask what an experience means within a person's broader lifeworld, cultural context, and situated understanding. The researcher's own interpretive horizon is treated as an analytical resource rather than a bias to eliminate.
