Examples of phenomenology in the following topics:

  • Problem-Solving

    • These spontaneous decisions are often associated with functional fixedness, confirmation bias, insight and intuition phenomenology, heuristics, and algorithms.
    • Insight phenomenology is a sudden understanding of a problem, or a strategy that aids in solving problems.
    • Intuition phenomenology is the ability to acquire knowledge without inference and/or the use of reason.
    • Intuition phenomenology differs from insight phenomenology in that intuition, or the gut feeling one gets, is largely influenced by past knowledge and experience, whereas insight arises suddenly for a given context or problem which is not based on previous knowledge or experience.
    • Some of these mental processes include functional fixedness, confirmation bias, insight and intuition phenomenology, heuristics, and algorithms.
  • Absorption

    • Phenomenologically you can imagine that there are many independent absorbers in the beam, each with a cross section $\sigma_\nu$ and a number density $n$.
  • Economic Sociology

    • The classical period was concerned particularly with modernity and its phenomenological progeny, such as rationalization, secularization, urbanization, and social stratification.
  • Evaluating the Humanistic Perspective on Personality

    • Humanistic psychology has its roots in existentialism, behaviorism, and phenomenology.
  • Cognitive Psychology

    • It accepts the use of the scientific method and generally rejects introspection as a valid method of investigation, unlike phenomenological methods such as Freudian psychoanalysis.
  • Slideshows

    • Since the late 1960s, visual artists in museums and galleries have used slideshows as a device for presenting specific information about an action or research, or as a phenomenological form in itself.
  • Pragmatism

    • Peirce's appreciation of these three dimensions fleshes out a physiognomy of inquiry far more solid than the flatter image of inductive generalization simpliciter, which is merely the relabeling of phenomenological patterns.
  • Defining Psychology

    • Psychology explores concepts such as perception, cognition, attention, emotion, phenomenology, motivation, brain functioning, personality, behavior, resilience, the unconscious mind, and interpersonal relationships.
  • Symbolic Interactionism

    • This perspective is also rooted in phenomenological thought (see social constructionism and phenomenology).
  • Organizational Development

    • This is often done with the assistance of a "change agent" or "catalyst" who enables appropriate theories and techniques from applied behavioral sciences, anthropology, sociology, and phenomenology.
