Concept information

Preferred term

intentionalism  

Definition(s)

  • All qualitative inquiry at least implicitly assumes that human action is intentional—that is, it reflects the motives, beliefs, attitudes, desires, and so on of actors. Intentionalism is the name for the doctrine that understanding the meaning of human action requires understanding intentions. [Source: The SAGE Dictionary of Qualitative Inquiry; Intentionalism]
