Reflexivity is an English term that Spanish speaking people have to assign a technical meaning. Reflexivity expresses the conscience of researchers conscience and refers to their connection with the study's situation. It is a process by which researchers step back to critically exam the effect they have on the study and the impact of their interactions with participants. The reflexive process is embedded in all research levels and is present in all the research phases, from the research question to fieldwork, from data analysis to writing the final report. Nevertheless, the question is not so much to engage in reflective activities but to be a reflexive researcher. Reflexivity is a human ability that is present during social interactions. For this reason it is present in qualitative research. A self inquirer can be addressed as it is constructed by the relationships and interactions that are established with study participants. Reflexivity has an educational character that continues after the study is completed.
反思性是一个英语术语，说西班牙语的人必须赋予它一个专业含义。反思性表达了研究者的自我意识，并指涉他们与研究情境的联系。它是一个过程，通过这个过程研究者会退后一步，批判性地审视他们对研究的影响以及他们与参与者互动的影响。反思过程贯穿于所有研究层面，并且存在于从研究问题到实地调查、从数据分析到撰写最终报告的所有研究阶段。然而，问题不在于参与反思活动，而在于成为一名具有反思性的研究者。反思性是一种在社会互动中存在的人类能力。因此它存在于定性研究中。一个自我探究者可以被这样称呼，因为它是由与研究参与者建立的关系和互动所构建的。反思性具有一种教育性质，在研究完成后仍会持续。
