The purpose of the present article was to highlight the methodological challenges we have experienced in conducting adolescent research for the past 20 years or more. In this article, we describe the methodological issues we have encountered with nonexperimental research designs, sampling, instrumentation, data collection procedures, statistical analyses, and ethical concerns of adolescent research, particularly the process of informed consent. Sharing our experiences with adolescent research can shed light on methodological issues (specifically in this age group) that are not addressed in research textbooks and can provide guidance for other researchers who are interested in developing knowledge relevant to adolescent populations.
本文的目的是强调我们在过去二十多年开展青少年研究过程中所经历的方法学挑战。在本文中，我们描述了在非实验性研究设计、抽样、测量工具、数据收集程序、统计分析以及青少年研究的伦理问题（尤其是知情同意过程）方面所遇到的方法学问题。分享我们在青少年研究方面的经验能够阐明研究教科书中未涉及的方法学问题（特别是针对该年龄组的问题），并能为其他有志于拓展与青少年群体相关知识的研究人员提供指导。
