Positionality statements are a reflective practice established in fields such as social sciences, where they enhance transparency, reflexivity, and ethical integrity by acknowledging how researchers identities, experiences, and perspectives may shape their work. This study aimed to investigate the understanding, usage, and potential value of positionality statements in software engineering research, particularly in studies focused on diversity and inclusion.
