Concerns have been raised regarding the appropriateness of asking about violence victimization in telephone interviews and whether asking such questions increases respondents' distress or risk for harm. However, no large-scale studies have evaluated the impact of asking such questions during a telephone interview. This study explored respondents' reactions to questions regarding violence in two large recently completed telephone surveys. After respondents were asked about violence, they were asked if they thought surveys should ask such questions and whether they felt upset or afraid because of the questions. In both surveys, the majority of respondents (regardless of their victimization history) were willing to answer questions about violence and were not upset or afraid because of the questions. More than 92% of respondents thought such questions should be asked. These results challenge commonly held beliefs and assumptions and provide some assurance to those concerned with the ethical collection of data on violent victimization.
对于在电话访谈中询问暴力受害情况的适当性，以及询问此类问题是否会增加受访者的痛苦或伤害风险，人们已提出了担忧。然而，尚无大规模研究评估在电话访谈中询问此类问题的影响。本研究在最近完成的两项大型电话调查中，探究了受访者对有关暴力问题的反应。在询问受访者有关暴力问题后，接着询问他们是否认为调查应该询问此类问题，以及他们是否因这些问题而感到不安或害怕。在两项调查中，大多数受访者（无论其受害经历如何）都愿意回答有关暴力的问题，并且并未因这些问题而感到不安或害怕。超过92%的受访者认为应该询问此类问题。这些结果挑战了普遍持有的信念和假设，并为那些关注暴力受害情况数据伦理收集的人提供了一些保证。
