Children are valuable informants for social research; however, their participation presents additional ethical and practical challenges. Of these challenges, feedback to verify the researchers' interpretations drawn from children's data, and the dissemination of project findings to young participants, have proven difficult to overcome. In this paper, we outline the Storybook method, an approach to feedback in research with young children. In the example study, illustrations, interactive pop-ups, and third-person disclosure were used to aid children aged 7-9 years to overcome the power imbalance in interviews with adults. The Storybook method facilitated active participation in the validation process. Potential modifications of the method for use with older populations, including adults with intellectual disabilities, complex communication needs, and those requiring alternate access to written texts, are also explored.
儿童是社会研究的有价值的信息提供者；然而，他们的参与带来了额外的伦理和实践挑战。在这些挑战中，向儿童核实研究人员从其数据中得出的解释的反馈，以及向年轻参与者传播项目结果，已被证明难以克服。在本文中，我们概述了故事书方法，这是一种针对幼儿研究的反馈方法。在示例研究中，使用插图、交互式弹出窗口和第三人称披露来帮助 7-9 岁的儿童克服与成年人访谈中的权力不平衡。故事书方法促进了对验证过程的积极参与。还探讨了该方法的潜在修改，以用于年龄较大的人群，包括智力残疾、复杂沟通需求的成年人，以及需要替代书面文本访问的人。
