摘要在社会学和组织学文献中，人们对护理人员的情感劳动和情感工作给予了很大的关注。相比之下，相对较少的关注已经支付给研究人员的表现，以及它是如何形成的需要，以适当的方式，是在符合研究设置的要求。现有的文献主要集中在研究人员需要意识到他们的情绪作为自反性的一部分，因此，通过承认，最大限度地减少任何情绪的影响（主观性）的研究解释。在本文中，我借鉴了两个研究经验，一个民族志研究到临终关怀在护理院和解剖病理学技术人员在医院太平间的作用探索进行敏感的研究和管理情绪之间的紧张关系的探索。最后，我借鉴戈夫曼和霍克希尔德的理论，探讨情绪管理和敏感性研究之间的关系。
ABSTRACT Within sociological and organisational literature much attention has been paid to the emotional labour and emotion work performed by care staff. By contrast, comparatively little attention has been paid to that which researchers perform and how it is shaped by the need to behave appropriately and in ways that are in keeping with the demands of the study setting. Existing literature focuses largely on the need for researchers to be aware of their emotions as part of being reflexive and thus, through acknowledgement, minimising any emotional impact (subjectivity) on research interpretations. In this paper, I draw on two research experiences, an ethnographic study into end-of-life care in care homes and an exploration into the role of the Anatomical Pathology Technologist in a hospital mortuary to explore the tensions between conducting sensitive research and managing emotions. I conclude by drawing on the theories of Goffman and Hochschild to explore the relationship between emotion management and sensitive research.
