Abstract Examining a number of recently developed methods for acquiring first-person data on consciousness, we detect a lack of sensitivity for distinguishing the experiential moments in which the experiencing person was reflectively attending to her ongoing experience. In order to address this gap, we introduce a novel research format for obtaining data on lived experience, combining random sampling of experience with a subsequent retrospective examination of acquired samples in the form of dialogical phenomenological inquiry. The proposed approach aims at the examination of reflectively observed experiential moments and is based on researchers’ iterative cultivation of the phenomenological attitude. Drawing upon results from a longitudinal study of the potential of meditation as a tool for examining consciousness, we address the epistemological and methodological challenges of the proposed approach, discuss its applicability and research potential, as well as examine the characteristics and validity of phenomenal data thus acquired.

当它发生时就在那里：一种对反思性观察到的经验进行采样的新方法

摘要检查了一些最近开发的获取第一人称意识数据的方法，我们发现在区分体验者正在反思性地关注她正在进行的体验的体验时刻方面缺乏敏感性。为了解决这一差距，我们引入了一种新的研究格式来获取生活经验的数据，将经验的随机抽样与随后以对话现象学调查的形式对获得的样本进行回顾性检查相结合。所提出的方法旨在检查反思性观察到的体验时刻，并基于研究人员对现象学态度的反复培养。根据对冥想作为检查意识的工具的潜力进行的纵向研究的结果，
