随着技术逐渐遍及我们生活的各个方面，HCI社区的成员正在研究他们的研究中越来越敏感的环境，例如，生命的尽头，种族灭绝，在压迫性政权下进行了计算机介导的交流。在这种情况下，研究产生的考虑可能远远超出了通用道德批准过程和机构实践所解决的考虑。尽管标准是确保参与者在研究设计和道德批准过程中的福祉是标准的，但研究人员自己的情感福祉明确地被认为是不那么普遍的。本文描述了研究人员的情绪在研究中的作用，以及在敏感环境中研究对研究人员的情感福祉和研究有效性的影响。描述了一项定性调查，该调查研究了HCI研究人员的支持机制，以防他们因研究而感到困扰/困扰。使用调查结果，结合了对其他学科如何解决该主题的见解，以合成HCI社区可以主动纳入研究人员情感福祉的考虑方式的建议。
As technology progressively pervades all aspects of our lives, members of the HCI community are engaging with increasingly sensitive contexts in their research - for example, end of life, genocide, computer-mediated communication under oppressive regimes. The considerations generated by research in such contexts can go well beyond those addressed by generic ethical approval processes and institutional practice. Whilst it is standard to ensure that the wellbeing of participants is taken into account in research design and the ethical approval process, it is much less common for the researcher's own emotional wellbeing to be considered explicitly. This paper describes the role that a researcher's emotions may play in research, and the impact which research in sensitive contexts can have on researchers' emotional wellbeing and on research validity. A qualitative survey is described which investigated the support mechanisms which HCI researchers have in place in case they are distressed/troubled as a result of their research. The results of the survey are used, in combination with insights into how other disciplines address the topic, to synthesize suggestions for ways in which the HCI community can proactively incorporate consideration for the emotional wellbeing of the researcher into the research process.
