The purpose of this study was to introduce to the reader the life story research one of the qualitative methods. Life history inquiry has been explained step by step so that the reader was given the opportunity to follow and conduct their own interviews. The description of this research was made, historical progress was explained and the purpose for this type of research was explained. Then, the application of this method in psychology, sociology and anthropology was examined. In addition, advantages, benefits, difficulties and limitations of life history were also reviewed by addressing different authors concerns. Finally, a pure qualitative method offered by Dollard (1935) and a semi-structured interviews by McAdams (1995) was introduced to the reader. Özet Bu çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden yaşam öyküsü araştırması (life history inqury) tanıtılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu yöntem hakkındaki tüm süreç basamak basamak anlatılmıştır. Böylece okuyucuların kendilerinin de bu tür bir görüşme yapmalarına fırsat verilmiştir. Önce yaşam öyküsü araştırmasının nitel araştırma yöntemi içerisindeki yerine değinilmiş, değişik otoritelere göre tanımlamaları yapılmış, sonra bu yöntemin tarihsel süreçteki gelişimine değinilmiştir. Bu yöntemin psikoloji, sosyoloji ve antropoloji bilimlerinde nasıl ve ne amaçla kullanıldığına bakılmıştır. Yaşam öyküsü araştırmalarının ne amaçla yapıldığı, araştırmaya nasıl başlandığı, nasıl devam edildiği gibi araştırma süreci ve metodu hakkında geniş bilgiler sunulmuştur. Bu araştırma yönteminin avantajları, sınırlılıkları, zorlukları ve karşılaşılabilecek etik sorunlara değinilmiştir. En son olarak ta Dollard (1935) tarafından önerilen yapılandırılmamış tam bir nitel yöntem ve daha sonraları McAdams (1995) tarafından formüle edilen yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme yöntemleri incelenmiştir.Downloads
