性别与方法:女性学者的质性研究路径

Gender and Approach: Female Scholars' Qualitative Research

在经验研究中常常会发现,女性学者偏好选用质性研究方法探讨女性话题。通过比较国内外研究趋势发现,性别与研究方法偏好之间只是阶段性的相关;诸如父权制、消费社会、大众传媒等"想象的他者"是女性学者构建理论解释的重要切入点;而研究关系中,研究主体对研究客体的"情感剥削"与研究客体对研究主体的"权威依赖",对于具有"天然优势"的女性研究者亦不能幸免,继而引发了对质性研究本土化及学者自省性的反思。

In empirical researches,it’s common trend that female scholars prefer qualitative research approach to female topics.By comparing domestic and foreign research tendencies,we found that gender is only periodi-cally associated with certain approaches.For female scholars,“the imagined other”,including patriarchy, consumer society and mass media,is an important perspective to make theoretical explanation.As far as the research relationship is concerned,researchers’emotional exploitation and objects’dependency on authority are so widespread that female scholars with natural advantages bear no immunity.Such issues inspire reflec-tions on the localization of qualitative research and self -examination of researchers.
