Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reflexivity recognises the researcher's personal biases and subjective construction of reality, and how this can influence the research process. Therefore, it does not support the idea that there are no alternative constructions of findings other than the researcher's (A), nor does it hold that the real world is reflected through research in an objective manner (B). It also acknowledges that giving an accurate and objective representation of what other people think and perceive can be challenging (D).
