Parsons' term. Actors with a reflexive attitude tend to be self-aware. of their own motivations. However, according to Potter, reflexivity for Garfinkel means the way in which description enters into the constitution of what is being described.  "In stressing the reflexive nature of discourse, ethnomethodologists are attempting to under- mine the commonly assumed dualism between a description and what is being described" (Potter, 1996, p.47). To be reflexive, in terms of a work of anthropology, is to insist that anthropologists systematically and rigorously reveal their methodology and themselves as the instrument of data generation.
