Essai: Real-Time Reflexivity: Prods to Reflection
论文警告反思从改进理论的手段变成目的本身,这会混淆观察并掩盖反思责任是事后重构的事实,通过分析Wicklund的多视角理论说明这一差异。
Growing attention to self-as-theorist threatens to shift reflexivity from a means to improve theory to an end in itself. Such a shift both muddles observations and conceals the possibility that reflexive liabilities are present-at-hand reconstructions of dissimilar ready-to-hand moments of data collection. Reflexivity lived forward differs from reflexive threats to validity understood backward. This difference is illustrated through an analysis of Wicklund's theory of multiple perspectives. It is concluded that current renderings of reflexivity may have focused on the wrong categories.
