The term bracketing has increasingly been employed in qualitative research. Although this term proliferates in scientific studies and professional journals, its application and operationalization remains vague and, often, superficial. The growing disconnection of the practice of bracketing in research from its origins in phenomenology has resulted in its frequent reduction to a formless technique, value stance, or black-box term. Mapping the subtle theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of bracketing will facilitate identification and delineation of core elements that compose bracketing, and distinguish how different research approaches prioritize different bracketing elements. The author outlines a typology of six distinct forms of bracketing that encompasses the methodological rigor and evolution of bracketing within the richness of qualitative research.
“悬置”一词在定性研究中越来越多地被使用。尽管这个术语在科学研究和专业期刊中大量出现，但其应用和操作化仍然模糊，而且往往很肤浅。研究中的悬置实践与其在现象学中的起源越来越脱节，导致它经常沦为一种无定形的技术、价值立场或黑箱术语。梳理悬置的微妙理论和哲学基础，将有助于识别和界定构成悬置的核心要素，并区分不同的研究方法如何对不同的悬置要素进行优先排序。作者概述了六种不同形式的悬置类型，涵盖了定性研究丰富性中悬置的方法严谨性和演变。
