Alopecia Areata and Women

" [P]henomenological analysis is principally concerned with understanding how the everyday, intersubjective world (the life world, or Lebenswelt) is constituted. The aim is to grasp how we come to interpret our own and others' action as meaningful " (Denzin & Lincoln, 2003b, p. 297). The principle of this research is to explore the psychological impact of alopecia and its impact on women. .
             Theoretical Framework .
             Social identity theory (SIT) is a theoretical lens used for utilizing one's perception of self as compared to a larger group. According to SIT model, the individual may categorize and/or identify themselves with a self-selected group and aim towards enhancing themselves within that group. (Tajfel & Turner, 1986). The SIT model frames the research due to the societal expectations of women. Women with alopecia have a desire to self-identify with a group. The desire to self-identify is increased because of the disease and a need to not be different. .
