Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phenomenological methodology involves studying the meaning people attribute to their experiences. In this case, Dr. Heartwell's focus on understanding how the victims made sense of the attack suggests that she was interested in studying their subjective experiences and interpretations, which is a key feature of phenomenological research. The other options, case study, grounded theory, and ethnographic methodologies, may involve different types of data collection and analysis that are less focused on individual experiences and meanings.
