Document Summary
The factors that influence knowledge, perception of self and identity, and perceptions of others. Interpretivist: human life as actively constituted by people in interaction with others. Studies tend to be about marginalized or minority groups. Created to be fundamentally different than the natural and physical sciences. Max van - used public speaking to illustrate what lived experience is. Slip out of one"s natural state when they"re aware of many people watching. Once you get comfortable, they become more natural. We take for granted how we live - how we act, talk, move. The study of human behaviour is the study of human lived experience and that human experience is rooted in people"s meanings, interpretations, activities, and interactions. Study of the conscious experience as it is experienced by the person or group being studied. The point is to understand human behaviour; not to explain it.
