Despite the present trend to revise the abstract concept from the practical perspective, the Dasein-experience has not been studied within the psychological field. This paper is aimed to determine how people experience Dasein and whether this ability is somehow connected to the personal traits. Semi-structured interviews with 16 informants are be undertaken, questionnaires on Systematical reflexiveness and Alienation are also given. The data is further qualitatively analysed within the interpretative phenomenological approach and then a common structure of the experience is derived using the Interpretative phenomenological analysis. The results show how informants articulate positive and negative Dasien-experience, how the structure differs from that explicated from previous research and that personal traits studied are not linked to the experiencing ability. Further greater investigation of the personal traits role in the experiencing is suggested.
