A Reader of Qualitative Research Notes That a Study Is

A reader of qualitative research notes that a study is identified as Heideggerian phenomenology. The purpose of the study was to explore the lived experience of the process of separating from a long-time partner and subsequently marrying another person, and to elicit descriptions of the experience's meaning. This topic is unexplored in the literature. The sample of 21 was randomly selected from 68 volunteers. Participant interviews were tape-recorded and transcribed, and then coded by two raters, whose interrater reliability was reported as 95%. The findings revealed that there was a lengthy period of adjustment following separation, and that participants filled this time by denying permanency, creating possibilities, appreciating silence, developing personal strengths, trusting, developing skepticism, "starting a new page," and maintaining mental boundaries. What is the most immediate evaluative critique point about this article?

A) It is not clear what the findings contribute to the current body of knowledge.
B) The development and implementation of the study methodology is not congruent with its philosophical foundation.
C) Tape-recording, transcription, and coding by two raters are not likely to capture the essence of this experience, without video-recording and participant observation.
D) The findings do not seem to be a credible reflection of reality.
