Being reflexive and providing these reflections for public scrutiny is often considered a key element of ethical, rigorous qualitative research. Prevalent conceptualizations of reflexivity, however, need interrogating and sharpening. We aim to contribute to this by examining reflexive practice, and in particular researchers' reflexive accounts, through the lens of the narrative paradigm. Our aim is to demonstrate that acknowledging the role of narrative reconstruction in reflexivity creates more ethical research, and that it is therefore crucial for researchers to more explicitly recognize this. Both authors present an analysis of one particular exchange between interviewer and participant. This analysis highlights that despite our best efforts at "doing reflexivity," both immediately following and when reflecting back on an interview, there are influential factors that escape our gaze. Reflections of the past are particularly imperfect. Without fully recognizing this, we are not utilizing all the tools available for ensuring honest, ethical research.
反思并将这些反思公之于众，通常被认为是道德、严谨的定性研究的一个关键要素。然而，需要对流行的反思概念进行质疑和深化。我们旨在通过叙事范式来检验反思实践，特别是研究人员的反思性叙述，以此做出贡献。我们的目的是证明承认叙事重构在反思中的作用可以创造更符合伦理的研究，因此对于研究人员来说，更明确地认识到这一点至关重要。两位作者都对访谈者和参与者之间的一次特定交流进行了分析。该分析强调，尽管我们在“进行反思”方面付出了最大的努力，无论是在访谈之后立即进行，还是在回顾访谈时进行，都存在一些影响因素，这些因素逃脱了我们的视线。对过去的反思尤其不完美。如果我们没有完全认识到这一点，我们就没有利用所有确保诚实、符合伦理的研究的可用工具。
