Over the last few years, the use of dyadic research methods has expanded considerably. One area that has benefited from this type of research is the study of the family unit, particularly parent-adolescent dyads. Dyadic research allows investigators to assess relationship dynamics, processes, and congruences within a family unit, as well as the distinct experiences of each member of the dyad. However, like all emerging and expanding areas of human subjects research, parent-adolescent dyadic research faces several ethical challenges. Given the advantages of parent-adolescent dyadic research for examining family relational processes, this article addresses ethical challenges experienced by dyadic researchers that often temper interests in applying these approaches. Drawing on the scholarly literature and the authors' experiences conducting parent-adolescent dyadic research, we discuss heightened and unique ethical challenges that arise in this area of inquiry and provide recommendations on how to best navigate those issues.
在过去的几年中，对偶研究方法的使用已经大大扩展。受益于这种研究类型的一个领域是对家庭单位的研究，特别是父母-青少年对偶。对偶研究使研究人员能够评估家庭单位内的关系动态、过程和一致性，以及对偶中每个成员的独特经历。然而，就像人类主题研究的所有新兴和扩展领域一样，父母-青少年对偶研究面临着几个伦理挑战。鉴于对偶研究在研究家庭关系过程方面的优势，本文讨论了对偶研究人员在应用这些方法时常常遇到的伦理挑战。本文借鉴了学术文献和作者进行父母-青少年对偶研究的经验，讨论了在这一研究领域中出现的更加突出和独特的伦理挑战，并就如何最好地解决这些问题提出了建议。
