Reflexive Disclosure in Qualitative Research Publications in School Psychology (2006-2021)
Sabnis, Sujay V.; Wolgemuth, Jennifer R.
Psychology in the Schools, v60 n10 p3738-3753 Oct 2023
Qualitative researchers in school psychology are asked to reflect on how their identities, goals, and backgrounds influence their research studies, and to disclose these influences in their manuscripts. Given that reflexivity is a process and not an event, it can be challenging to decide what and how much about oneself, or selves, to disclose in a qualitative research manuscript. We, therefore, wanted to understand how school psychology researchers have communicated reflexivity in their published journal articles. We analyzed all qualitative articles published in seven school psychology journals between 2006 and 2021, focusing on the authors' written descriptions meeting the criteria of reflexive disclosure. We found an increase in the inclusion of reflexive disclosure over the years. We also found five types of disclosure researchers used to communicate reflexivity. We end with some critiques of the existing disclosure practices and make recommendations for strengthening reflexivity.
