Humans like to think they have free will and the humanistic approach supports this. Although we feel like we have made decisions out of free will, the argument can always be made that it was predetermined by subconscious behaviour and thoughts from past experiences.

But psychologists who take the free will view suggest that determinism removes freedom and dignity, and devalues human behavior. By creating general laws of behavior, deterministic psychology underestimates the uniqueness of human beings and their freedom to choose their own destiny, with uniqueness being a key feature of the humanistic approach.

A fully functioning person has a constant changing self concept and is open to new experiences that will help them grow as an individual and expand on his or her sense of self.

Research methods are limited as unable to study large groups due to the fact each person is unique. This makes generalisability of studies hard.  Hawthorne effect could be evident which makes results less reliable. and too much emphasis is placed on subjective experience.

Promotes the idea of personal responsibility and views the person as an active agent so their thoughts and feelings are valid.

The term comes from the Greek word ‘idios’, which means ‘own’ or ‘private’. Psychologists who take an idiographic approach focus on the individual and emphasise the unique personal experience of human nature. (Tutor2U.net, 2018)

The nature vs nurture  debate, identifies aspects of behaviours either inherited or acquired.

nature is what we think is influenced by genetic inheritance and nurture is the generally learnt from external factors after conception.

the debate is concerned with the relative contributions that influences human behaviour.

This favour qualitative research methods - case studies, unstructured interviews and thematic analysis which allow an in-depth insight into individual behaviour. It does not seek to formulate laws or generalise results to others.  (Tutor2U.net, 2018).

Time consuming and not cost effective. Cannot be generalised due to small samples collected. Full of bias, due to the fact individuals are being studied, and the researchers aims. (Getrevising.co.uk, 2016).

Holistic approach is  taking care of something totally. A HOLISTIC approach means to treat the WHOLE person. Holistic Approach means to have balanced mind, body & spirit. Not only physical well being but also to have a healthy conscious & subconscious mind.The primary advantage of the more detailed and thus more advanced method (holistic approach) is the higher quality and reliability of the results, due to the very realistic model on which the calculation is based. The intermediate results are quite exact and very appropriate for further more detailed analysis. Its main disadvantages are the need for suitable computer software for the complex calculation and the longer time required to perform the calculation. The advantages mentioned above represent the disadvantages of the simplified approach, which uses a very approximate model. Nevertheless, the results can definitely be used to assess and compare the energy performance of simple buildings with conventional performance. The advantages of the simplified approach are the shorter time required to perform the calculation, and the fact that it can be done by hand.

Phenomenology is a qualitative research method that is used to describe how human beings experience a certain phenomenon. ... It allows the researcher to delve into the perceptions, perspectives, understandings, and feelings of those people who have actually experienced or lived the phenomenon or situation of interest.
Strengths of Phenomenology:

Seeks to find the universal nature of an experience and can provide a deeper understanding.

The themes and meanings of an experience emerge from the data.  The qualitative nature of  phenomenology allows the researcher to notice trends and look at the big picture.  The data is not fit into a statistical test that confines or restricts the interpretation.

Helps to understand a lived experience and brings meaning to it.  This may contribute to the development of new theories, changes in policies or changes in responses.

Results may help expose misconceptions about an experience.  It may be a means to have the voices of the participants heard which may prompt action or at least challenge pre-conceived notions and complacency.

Limitations of Phenomenology:

The research participants must be able to articulate their thoughts and feelings about the experience being studied.  It may be difficult for them to express themselves due to language barriers, age, cognition, embarrassment and other factors.

Phenomenology requires researcher interpretation, making phenomenological reduction an important component to reduce biases, assumptions, and pre-conceived ideas about an experience or phenomenon.  Researcher bias is difficult to determine or detect.

Results are not statistically reliable, even with a larger sample size.  It does not produce generalizable data.

It may be difficult to gain access to participants.

Presentation of findings may be difficult.  The subjectivity of the data may lead to difficulty in establishing reliability and validity.

Policy makers may give less credibility to phenomenological study.

Gathering data and data analysis may be time consuming and laborious.
