In diesem Beitrag führen wir die "Developmentally Oriented Thematic Analysis" (DOTA) ein, ein Verfahren zur prozessorientierten intra- und interindividuellen Analyse im Rahmen von Fallstudien. Wir skizzieren hierzu zunächst die wesentlichen methodologischen Überlegungen, die uns bei der Konzeption dieses Ansatzes zur Untersuchung mehrschichtiger affektiver Prozesse, der auf erfahrungsbasierte  und existenzielle Schichten der Sinngebung zielt, geleitet haben. Zur Veranschaulichung nutzen wir Tagebucheinträge von Kursteilnehmer/innen an einer norwegischen Universität, die wir gebeten hatten, mittels dieser Einträge ihre Kurserfahrungen u.a. mit einer Schweigezeit an jedem Morgen zu reflektieren. Die prozessorientierten Erzählungen verdeutlichen die koexistierenden Richtungen höherer psychologischer Funktionen und den Grad der (Nicht-) Differenzierung der jeweils involvierten affektiven Prozesse. Gerade der Fokus auf Schweigephänomene war besonders hilfreich für einen besseren Einblick in die verschiedenen affektiven Schichten durch den über sie erkennbaren Kontrast und ihre Bedeutung für Aufmerksamkeitsveränderungen.... view less

In this article, we introduce developmentally oriented thematic analysis (DOTA) as a possibility to study the process-oriented aspects of qualitative data analysis when undertaking the intra- and inter-individual analysis of case studies. We describe the main methodological considerations of this approach as a method to study the multi-layered nature of affective processes, which can recall both experiential and existential layers of meaning-making. We do so by analyzing the diary entries of study participants who attended a course taught at a Norwegian university and who used journals to reflect upon their experiences in class, such as the "silent time" they embraced each morning. Process-oriented narratives give account of the coexistent directionalities of higher psychological functions, and the degrees of differentiation or undifferentiation of the affective processes involved in them. One aspect that facilitated such amplification of the multiple layers of affective processes was the focus on silence-phenomena, due to the contrast they induce, and the way in which they promote attentional shifts.... view less
