The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the components of a profound moment. We provisionally defined a profound moment as an experience that intentionally or unintentionally continues to surface in consciousness, has transformed an individual’s fundamental perspectives, and been integrated into an individual’s life. Participants who the researchers felt had experienced highly memorable moments and demonstrated an introspective personality were purposefully selected. Interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interpretive phenomenological approach; interviews were transcribed, coded, analyzed, and considered in the analysis. Results from preliminary analysis indicate components of profound moments include acceptance, permeation, humanity, and change.

探索深刻时刻的根源：一项实证研究

这项定性研究的目的是探索一个深刻时刻的组成部分。我们暂时将深刻的时刻定义为一种有意或无意地持续出现在意识中、改变了个人的基本观点并融入个人生活的经历。研究人员有目的地选择了那些经历过令人难忘的时刻并表现出内省个性的参与者。使用半结构化解释现象学方法进行访谈；访谈内容经过转录、编码、分析，并在分析中得到考虑。初步分析结果表明，深刻时刻的组成部分包括接受、渗透、人性和变化。
