ABSTRACT Coaching psychology first emerged in Australia and the UK [Grant, A. (2008). Past, present and future: The evolution of professional coaching and coaching psychology: Handbook of coaching psychology: A guide for practitioners. London: Routledge] and it is now applied in different industries including the educational contexts [van Nieuwerburgh, C. (2012). Coaching in education (1st ed.). London: Karnac Books]. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to explore the potential value of coaching for PhD students. This study adapted a qualitative approach using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to examine the lived experience of PhD students who received coaching. IPA aimed to understand and explore this particular experience in depth [Smith, J., Flowers, P., & Larkins, M. (2009). Interpretive phenomenological analysis (1st ed.). London: Sage]. The sample consisted of six PhD students who participated in four individual coaching sessions. The semi-structured interviews were conducted after the participants received coaching in order to collect the data. After that, interviews were analysed and two categories and six themes emerged: Intrapersonal (feeling motivated, effect of coaching on self-confidence, made me think, and resourcefulness) and Interpersonal (being supported and having someone to talk to). While further studies of the application of coaching to support PhD students are still needed, this study indicates that coaching might have positive effects on PhD students.

了解接受指导的博士生的经验：解释现象学分析

摘要教练心理学最早出现在澳大利亚和英国[Grant，A.（2008）。过去，现在和未来：专业教练和教练心理学的发展：教练心理学手册：从业人员指南。伦敦：Routledge]，现在已应用于不同行业，包括教育环境[van Nieuwerburgh，C.（2012）。教育辅导（第一版）。伦敦：卡纳克图书]。因此，本文的目的是探索指导博士学位对博士生的潜在价值。这项研究采用定性方法，使用解释性现象学分析（IPA）来研究接受指导的博士生的生活经历。IPA旨在深入了解和探索这一特殊经验[Smith，J.，Flowers，P.，＆Larkins，M.（2009）。解释性现象学分析（第一版。）。伦敦：圣人]。样本由六名博士生组成，他们参加了四次单独的辅导课程。在参与者接受了指导以收集数据之后，进行了半结构化访谈。此后，对访谈进行了分析，出现了两类和六个主题：人际交往（感觉上的动力，教练对自信心的影响，使我思考和机智的）和人际交往（得到支持并与某人交谈）。尽管仍需要对教练支持博士生应用的进一步研究，但这项研究表明，教练可能会对博士生产生积极影响。在参与者接受了指导以收集数据之后，进行了半结构化访谈。此后，对访谈进行了分析，出现了两类和六个主题：人际交往（感觉上的动力，教练对自信心的影响，使我思考和机智的）和人际交往（得到支持并与某人交谈）。尽管仍需要对教练支持博士生应用的进一步研究，但这项研究表明，教练可能会对博士生产生积极影响。在参与者接受了指导以收集数据之后，进行了半结构化访谈。此后，对访谈进行了分析，出现了两类和六个主题：人际交往（感觉上的动力，教练对自信心的影响，使我思考和机智的）和人际交往（得到支持并与某人交谈）。尽管仍需要对教练支持博士生应用的进一步研究，但这项研究表明，教练可能会对博士生产生积极影响。
