This paper will explore different uses of the term reflexivity in qualitative research. After discussing the foundational role of phenomenology and hermeneutics in the practices of reflexivity, this paper will present four methodological approaches to reflexivity. Distinctions will be made between personal reflexivity, interpersonal reflexivity, methodological reflexivity, and contextual reflexivity, and examples of research from each perspective will be presented. It will be argued that integration of these perspectives is possible thanks to their common foundation in phenomenology and henneneutics, and an example of such integration in practice will be provided
