Qualitative research is largely dependent on building good interpersonal relations between researcher and participant. This is necessary for generating rich data, while at the same time ensuring respect is maintained between researcher and participant. We argue for a better understanding of researcher-participant relations in research practice. Codes of ethics, although important, do not address these kinds of ethical challenges. Negotiating the ethical relations between researcher and participant is paramount in maintaining ethical rigour in qualitative research. In this paper we propose concepts that can assist in understanding how the ethics of research relations are negotiated in practice; the 'zone of the untouchable' from the Danish philosopher, Løgstrup, is combined with the notion of 'ethical mindfulness'. We argue how and why these concepts in tandem can heighten awareness and offer ways to address the ethically important moments in research.
定性研究在很大程度上依赖于研究者与参与者之间建立良好的人际关系。这对于生成丰富的数据是必要的，同时要确保研究者与参与者之间保持尊重。我们主张在研究实践中更好地理解研究者与参与者之间的关系。伦理准则虽然很重要，但并未涉及这类伦理挑战。在定性研究中，协商研究者与参与者之间的伦理关系对于保持伦理严谨性至关重要。在本文中，我们提出了一些概念，这些概念有助于理解在实践中如何协商研究关系的伦理问题；丹麦哲学家勒格斯特鲁普提出的“不可触碰区域”与“伦理正念”的概念相结合。我们论证了这些概念如何以及为何能够共同提高意识，并提供应对研究中伦理重要时刻的方法。
