This paper describes how the values of a feminist research team influenced methodological decisions in a study of rape survivors. Building upon concepts from community psychology and urban sociology, the authors created a community-based research design that respected the emotional needs of rape survivors without sacrificing methodological rigor. We developed relationships with community members in diverse settings, such as nail and hair salons, child care centers, churches, and bookstores, to advertise the study and recruit participants. Consistent with feminist approaches to interviewing, our goal was to create a safe setting for survivors to tell their stories. Although the purpose of this study was research rather than intervention, most survivors reported that participating in these interviews was healing. Our experiences in this project suggest that allowing values to influence the process of research may have beneficial outcomes for both researchers and participants.
本文描述了一个女性主义研究团队的价值观如何在一项针对强奸幸存者的研究中影响方法学决策。基于社区心理学和城市社会学的概念，作者创建了一种基于社区的研究设计，既尊重强奸幸存者的情感需求，又不牺牲方法学的严谨性。我们在美甲店、美发店、日托中心、教堂和书店等不同场所与社区成员建立关系，以宣传该研究并招募参与者。与女性主义访谈方法一致，我们的目标是为幸存者创造一个安全的环境来讲述他们的故事。尽管这项研究的目的是进行研究而非干预，但大多数幸存者表示参与这些访谈具有治愈作用。我们在这个项目中的经验表明，允许价值观影响研究过程可能对研究者和参与者都产生有益的结果。
