Abstract

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.
