Poor Women Survey Poor Women: Feminist Perspectives in Survey Research
探讨将女性主义原则应用于科学研究如何改变研究过程和结果,发现让贫困女性参与访谈能减少偏差、提高应答率并促进信任。
This essay examines how applying feminist principles in scientific inquiry changes both the process and the results of research. Overall, I find that including feminist perspectives improves research. Involving a women's community in the research process and allowing poor women to interview poor women may reduce interviewer bias, improve response rates and facilitate trust in answering questions that are often quite sensitive. Including poor women in the interviewing process also enables these women to learn about scientific inquiry and to participate in the research process.
