照片声音方法作为一种基于社区参与性研究核心价值的研究工具，在卫生、教育和社会科学领域越来越受欢迎。大多数photovoice项目都声称photovoice的第三个目标：接触政策制定者或影响政策变化。本文探讨的关注，提高虚假的希望或不切实际的期望之间的参与者的photovoice项目，因为他们被定位为在他们的社区的社会变革的冠军。社会变革的动力似乎掌握在受这一问题影响最大的人手中。这种集体社会行动背后的驱动力形成了一种可以称之为微观社会运动或相对利益集团的形式。展望社会运动理论和资源动员概念的潜在用途，本文提出了一系列关于photovoice项目伦理的未回答的问题。伦理方面的关注集中在政策变化这一关键举措上;然而，大多数项目对这一重点的实施和成果仍然含糊其辞。
Photovoice methodology is growing in popularity in the health, education and social sciences as a research tool based on the core values of community-based participatory research. Most photovoice projects state a claim to the third goal of photovoice: to reach policy-makers or effect policy change. This paper examines the concerns of raising false hopes or unrealistic expectations amongst the participants of photovoice projects as they are positioned to be the champions for social change in their communities. The impetus for social change seems to lie in the hands of those most affected by the issue. This drive behind collective social action forms, what could be termed, a micro-social movement or comparative interest group. Looking to the potential use of social movement theory and resource mobilisation concepts, this paper poses a series of unanswered questions about the ethics of photovoice projects. The ethical concern centres on the focus of policy change as a key initiative; yet, most projects remain vague about the implementation and outcomes of this focus.
