Features: This book is suitable for humanities and social science scholars planning to conduct research using interpretive methods, as well as graduate students who wish to understand interpretive methods or are willing to adopt them for their theses. Interpretation: A behavior that lays the foundation for understanding. It can be emotional, cognitive, or false, aesthetic. Interpretation can be categorized as: superficial, deep, participant, observer, analytical, monological, dialogical, polyphonic, situational description, and relational interaction.
Encountering the Self: A moment when an individual faces a problem and reveals their personality traits. This moment often signifies a turning point in their life and includes four types: significant self-discovery, enlightening small self-discoveries, cumulative epiphoric self-discoveries, and post-event epiphoric self-discoveries.
Interpretive Interactionism: Expressing opinions to reveal and convey the meaning of various symbolic interactional actions. It tends to use a discourse mode free from any preconceived concepts, with its foundation rooted in firsthand concepts extracted from lived experiences (narratives).
