历史上，科学的有效性一直是根据客观性的概念来衡量的。然而，无论我们如何努力，我们都不能脱离我们自己的个人利益和看法，这些利益和看法塑造了我们提出的问题，我们选择的理论过滤器和方法，以及我们得出的结论。我们都是人，正是这种人性受到灾难的考验和塑造。拥抱这种人性，本文反映了在2004年海啸后，在泰国进行纵向研究的经验和挑战，从一个研究生的角度。这些措施包括：在跨文化背景下进行灾害研究的常见后勤和规划挑战，以及研究人员和参与者的立场、自反性、互惠性和不同需求如何影响研究成果。特别关注的是在独特的创伤景观工作的情感代价的研究人员和相关的二次创伤压力和替代性创伤的威胁，这如何影响研究人员的关系的地方和分歧，这种交流的研究人员作为一个人和他们的研究结果。最后，我就早期职业研究人员如何更好地为灾难景观做好准备和导航，以及他们的导师和机构如何为他们提供支持提出了建议。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Scientific validity has historically been measured against notions of objectivity. However, try as we might, we cannot divorce ourselves from our own personal interests and perceptions that shape the questions we ask, the theoretical filters and methods we choose, and the conclusions we make. We are all human and it is this humanness that is tested and shaped by disasters. Embracing this humanness, this paper reflects upon the experiences and challenges of undertaking longitudinal research in Thailand following the 2004 Tsunami from the perspective of a research student. These include: common logistical and planning challenges in undertaking disaster research in a cross-cultural setting and how positionality, reflexivity, reciprocity and the differing needs of the researcher and participants influence research outcomes. Particular focus is placed on the emotional toll working in unique trauma landscapes has on researchers and the associated threat of secondary trauma stress and vicarious trauma, how this influences a researcher's relationship to place and the ramifications this exchange has on the researcher as a person and their findings. I conclude by offering recommendations on how early career researchers can better prepare for and navigate the disaster landscape and adjustments their mentors and institutions can make to support them.
