本章阐述了在活动背景下进行参与性研究的主要方法，包括可采用的各种方法。参与性研究往往涉及多种工具和技术，并经常与访谈、重点小组和/或调查等混合方法结合使用。参与性研究的关键要素之一是与社区成员和/或社区组织一起规划和开展研究的平等伙伴关系方法(BerGold，《社区心理学研究中的参与策略：一项简短调查》)。在A.Bokszczanin(编辑)中，波兰欢迎社区心理学：第六届欧洲社区心理学会议论文集(第57-66页)。奥波尔：奥波尔大学出版社，2007)。参与式研究将研究参与者视为研究领域的专家，并因此让他们参与知识生产过程；因此，研究项目从开始到完成都是共同设计的(Gyi，Sang，&Haslam，人体工学，56(1)，45-58,2013)。这可以应用于事件研究，通过观察、参与、利益相关者会议、集体反思和分析以及其他感官和视觉技术来检查事件的文化。被考察的“群体”和“文化”是活动的受众和环境。尽管事件本质上是暂时的，但人类学和社会学框架仍然适用。多年来，在一些活动研究中成功地做到了这一点(参见芬克尔，《陆地尽头的独轮车：康沃尔圣贾斯特青蛙节的案例研究》)。在J.Ali-Knight&D.Chambers(编辑)，节庆和活动营销以及文化旅游的案例研究。休闲研究协会期刊，2(92)，129-145,2006；戈德布拉特，事件与管理。在R.Finkel、D.McGillivray、G.McFherson和P.Robinson(编辑)中，事件的研究主题(第78-89页)。牛津：CABI，2013)，可以被认为是事件研究人员和学生用于有影响力和相关性研究的可行和有用的方法论方法。一个案例研究是基于苏格兰爱丁堡附近的一个社区活动进行的参与性研究。研究基于利益相关者会议、调查问卷、包括活动环境和参观者体验的照片和视频在内的视觉数据收集，以及研究人员个人的观察和互动。由于社区事件突出了事件研究的社会、经济和文化维度和话语，这可以被认为是展示这种方法的一个恰当和容易获得的例子。它还使研究过程民主化；研究是与参与者一起进行的，而不是在一个社区内进行。
This chapter sets out the main methodological approaches for participatory research in an events context, including various methods which can be employed. Participatory research often involves multiple instruments and techniques and is often utilised in conjunction with mixed methods, such as interviews, focus groups, and/or surveys. One of the key elements of participatory research is the equitable partnership approaches to planning and conducting the research in conjunction with community members and/or community-based organisations (Bergold, Participatory strategies in community psychology research: A short survey. In A. Bokszczanin (Ed.), Poland welcomes community psychology: Proceedings from the 6th European Conference on Community Psychology (pp. 57–66). Opole: Opole University Press, 2007). Participatory research views research participants as experts in the field of study and, as such, involves them in the knowledge-production process; thus, research projects are co-designed from inception through to completion (Gyi, Sang, & Haslam, Ergonomics, 56(1), 45–58, 2013). This can be applied to events studies by examining the culture of the event through observation, participation, stakeholder meetings, collective reflection and analysis, and other sensory and visual techniques. The ‘group’ and ‘culture’ being examined are the events audiences and environments. Although events are temporary in nature, anthropological and sociological frameworks can still apply. This has been successfully done in a few events studies through the years (see Finkel, Unicycling at Land’s End: Case study of the Lafrowda Festival of St Just, Cornwall. In J. Ali-Knight & D. Chambers (Eds.), Case studies in festival and event marketing and cultural tourism. Leisure Studies Association Journal, 2(92), 129–145, 2006; Goldblatt, Events and management. In R. Finkel, D. McGillivray, G. McPherson, & P. Robinson (Eds.), Research themes for events (pp. 78–89). Oxford: CABI, 2013) and can be considered a viable and useful methodological approach for events researchers and students to employ for impactful and relevant research. A case study is set out based on participatory research conducted at a community event located near Edinburgh, Scotland. The research is based on stakeholder meetings, survey questionnaires, collection of visual data including photos and videos of the event environment and visitors’ experiences, and the researchers’ personal observations and interactions. This can be considered an apt and accessible example for demonstrating this kind of methodology, as community events highlight the societal, economic, and cultural dimensions and discourses of events studies. It also democratises the research process; research is conducted with participants, rather than on a community.
