在很大程度上，对严格原则的遵从继续限制着研究伦理的更有针对性的方法。虽然这意味着欺骗被视为应该不惜一切代价避免的事情，但我发现，我的民族志研究的隐蔽方面使我能够最大限度地减少研究人员和研究参与者之间的不平等。本文探讨了我使用的现场工作在开普敦使用参与者观察与街头“拾荒者”的互动中的伦理学。我选择戴上一个隐藏的录音机，并获得选择性的同意，我认为这比仅仅依靠现场记录日志或在书面同意书上获得签名更合适。这些方法使我能够传达尊重和建立信任。这意味着，道德程序的情境化方法可以更好地适合敏感的研究主题，边缘化的社会群体，研究人员和他们的研究参与者之间存在极端的不平等。
To a large extent, conformity to rigid principles continues to constrain a more situated approach to research ethics. Although this means deception is seen as something that should be avoided at all costs, I found that covert aspects of my ethnographic study enabled me to minimise the inequality between researcher and research participants. This article explores my use of situated ethics in interactions with street ‘waste pickers’ during fieldwork in Cape Town using participant observation. I opted to wear a hidden recorder and obtain selective consent, which I argue was more appropriate than relying solely on a fieldnote journal or obtaining signatures on a written consent form. These methods enabled me to communicate respect and build trust. The implication is that a contextualised approach to ethical procedures can be better suited to sensitive research topics, with marginalised social groups, where there is extreme inequality between researchers and their research participants.
