Abstract

Although resources are available to inform researchers of the many technical skills necessary to conduct qualitative research, individuals working in applied field settings often encounter ethical, moral, and sociopolitical dilemmas that cannot be resolved through the application of technical skills. The purpose of this article is to present examples of dilemmas faced by qualitative research methodologists studying sexual behavior in applied field settings. Possible solutions to these dilemmas are discussed within a theoretical and conceptual framework. The examples and discussion are organized around four broad topic areas: informed consent, privacy, confidentiality, and personal relationships.
