The European Social Survey (ESS) is an academically driven survey that aims to chart social change with the perceptions…

study, reflexivity is considered crucial (Merriam, 1998). Reflexivity helps to understand the phenomenon under research and the research process itself (Watt, 2007). It is an ability of the researcher to acknowledge that the researchers themselves influence inquiry and research findings in various ways. Reflexivity is an anatomy of the researcher by the researcher to validate their own research process and findings. Researcher reflects continuously on how their own actions, values and…

Groves, Gray and Burns (2015) went on to discuss the rules known as design, to achieve control in…
