摘要
社会调查必须在研究伦理的框架之内进行,这一点在中国尚未受到应有的重视。国际上规定研究伦理的基本准则是尊重、受益与公平。国内外的大部分文献仅仅是从道德权利的角度来谈论伦理,但是社会科学研究还应该从方法论角度认识研究伦理的贯彻对于提高调查质量的积极作用。研究伦理的重要性来源于社会调查的"互动"、"交换"和"主体建构"的理念。任何以"人"为对象的社会调查都需要贯彻三项基本研究伦理:知情同意、平等与尊重、无伤害与受益,并要求调查者要真正地做到为被调查者着想、以"平常心"对待。这些伦理原则的贯彻有助于促进调查过程中的互动,提高调查质量。任何社会调查都要贯彻研究伦理,这是一种刚性的要求。
Social surveys must be conducted within the framework of research ethics, a subject to which China has not given due emphasis. The basic principles of internationally established research ethics are respect, beneficence and fairness. While most literature in China and abroad deals with ethics merely from the perspective of moral rights, social science research should go further to understand the positive role played by observance of research ethics in the improvement of survey quality from the viewpoint of methodology. The significance of research ethics is rooted in the idea of 'interaction,' 'exchange' and 'subjective construction' in social surveys. It is necessary for every social survey with human subjects to follow the three fundamental principles of research ethics: informed consent, equality and respect, and non-maleficence and benefit. Moreover, those who conduct the surveys are supposed to genuinely put themselves in the place of the respondents and treat them without prejudice. Adhering to these ethics is conducive to promoting survey interaction and improving survey quality. The observance of research ethics is a sine qua non for every social survey.
