Autoethnography differs from ethnography (i.e., the study of individuals, people,and cultures) in that it allows exploration of familiar topics, primarily the researcher self, ratherthan unfamiliar terrain. Despite its advantages, autoethnography can introduce biases if researchersoverly rely on personal experiences without considering the cultural context [64]. To mitigate theserisks, Chang advises researchers to avoid pitfalls such as excessive focus on the self, reliance solelyon memory, neglect of ethical practices, inappropriate labeling, and prioritization of narrativesover cultural interpretation is
