  • Team Dynamics
  • Social Sciences

Background:

  • Reflexivity is traditionally viewed as an individual process in research.
  • Effective teamwork is crucial for complex qualitative projects.
  • Potential pitfalls in qualitative teams include unaddressed assumptions and biases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate reflexivity as a collaborative team activity.
  • To enhance the productivity, functioning, and rigor of qualitative research teams.
  • To explore the impact of shared reflexive writing and group discussions on research quality.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on teamwork and reflexivity.
  • Description of a specific qualitative research team's collaborative process.
