Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper presents a set of reflections on the process of conducting a qualitative pluralistic group research project. As our work progressed, we began to spend as much time discussing this group work process as we did focusing on our specific research topic. We begin by giving some background to how we got started and the research study itself as well as saying something about who the group is. We then describe our process and examine how we came to see that what we were doing shared a lot of similarities with forms of pluralistic research. We discuss some of the challenges and opportunities we faced along the way and end with some final thoughts on where we might go next. We argue that it is important to pay close attention to the research process as it plays a crucial role in shaping the insights that can be gained from a piece of research. This paper contributes to the growing literature on reflexivity in qualitative psychology in general and the exploration of the research process in in collaborative pluralistic research designs in particular.

体验式研究小组的自在感:对合作多元主义研究过程的思考

摘要：本文提出了一系列关于开展定性多元化群体研究项目过程的思考。随着我们工作的进展，我们开始花同样多的时间讨论这个小组工作过程，就像我们专注于我们的特定研究主题一样。我们首先介绍了我们是如何开始的以及研究本身的一些背景，并说明了这个群体是谁。然后我们描述了我们的过程，并检查了我们是怎么发现我们所做的与多元化研究有很多相似之处的。我们讨论了我们在这一过程中面临的一些挑战和机遇，最后对我们下一步的发展方向进行了最后的思考。我们认为，密切关注研究过程很重要，因为它在形成从研究中获得的见解方面发挥着至关重要的作用。本文为越来越多的关于质心理学中的自反性的文献做出了贡献，尤其是对合作多元研究设计中的研究过程的探索。
