Abstract

|
|
As part of social behavioral research(SBR), a qualitative research is to determine qualitative characteristics inherent in human and society. With interest in human and social contexts, the qualitative study aims to provide solutions to problems with those contexts so it may be likely to be affected by personal values that its conductor, or researcher has. The qualitative research may be less likely to be proceeded in accordance with certain objective standards because it tends to put more importance in interactions between the researcher and the subject and contexts of its process. In the qualitative research, therefore, not only the scientific and ethical performance of that research, but also the protection of the subject"s safety and rights are greatly dependent on how much the researcher ethically prepare themselves in terms of consciousness and value. And how much the researcher and the subject trust each other is quite important to the better performance of the qualitative research. The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of qualitative research as part of SBR, determining limitations that obtaining consent by sufficient explanation may have as a way to protect the safety and rights of the subject. The study also tried to examine the very principle of moral judgement in the researcher-subject relationship, that is, ‘sympathy’ that includes “following the other"s feeling” and “sharing a same feeling with the other”, and discussed moral implications that sympathy has in that relationship.
