Ten Tips for Reflexive Bracketing
Kathryn J. Ahern
Edith Cowan University, Western Australia
Despite the realization that total objectivity is neither achievable nor necessarily desirable in qualitative research, researchers often are required to put aside assumptions so that the true experiences of respondents are reflected in the analysis and reporting of research. In many qualitative publications and conference presentations, researchers report that they have attempted this process, but the means by which this attempt was made often are not explicated. In this article, the author provides guidance to help qualitative researchers use reflexivity to identify areas of potential bias and to "bracket" them so their influence on the research process is minimal.
