Fieldwork as a part of social science research brings the researcher closest to the subject of research. It is a dynamic process where there is an exchange between the researcher, participants, stakeholders, gatekeepers, the community and the larger sociopolitical context in which the research problem is located. Ethical dilemmas that surface during fieldwork often pose a unique challenge to the researcher. This paper is based on field experiences during an action research study conducted with a human rights perspective. It discusses the role conflict that researchers face during fieldwork in a situation of humanitarian crisis. It raises issues pertaining to the need to extend the ethical decision-making paradigm to address ethical dilemmas arising during the course of fieldwork.
作为社会科学研究一部分的实地调查，能让研究者最接近研究对象。它是一个动态过程，在研究者、参与者、利益相关者、把关人、社区以及研究问题所处的更广泛社会政治背景之间存在着交流。实地调查中出现的伦理困境常常给研究者带来独特的挑战。本文基于一项从人权视角开展的行动研究中的实地经验。它探讨了在人道主义危机情况下，研究者在实地调查中面临的角色冲突。它还提出了有关需要扩展伦理决策范式以解决实地调查过程中出现的伦理困境的问题。
