This article presents four qualities that are considered hallmark of high quality IPA research, with detailed discussions and illustrations from exemplary IPA works. These qualities include constructing a compelling narrative, developing a vigorous experiential and/or existential account, close analytic reading of participants' words, and attending to convergence and divergence. Finally, the four qualities are briefly discussed in relation to the theoretical underpinnings of IPA.
Existing guidance on evaluating the quality of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) research has provided criteria to assess work as good, acceptable or unacceptable. Given that IPA has become a well-established member of the qualitative methods repertoire, we think it is valuable now to focus in much more detail on the particular qualities that are the hallmark of high quality IPA research. Here we present four such qualities which are discussed in detail and illustrated through the use of exemplars from excellent IPA work. The qualities are: constructing a compelling, unfolding narrative; developing a vigorous experiential and/or existential account; close analytic reading of participants' words; attending to convergence and divergence. Finally, the four qualities are briefly considered in relation to the theoretical underpinnings of IPA.
