{"product_id":"the-disturbed-subject-jeffrey-roth-9780820411507","title":"The Disturbed Subject: Epistemological and Ethical Implications of Reactivity in Videotape Research","description":"This monograph examines the question whether subjects' altered behavior in response to the presence of video recording equipment constitutes a threat to the accuracy and fairness of observational research. The author criticizes methodological arguments that favor restricting subjects' awareness of and involvement in the videotaping process on the grounds that inspection of the visual record would contaminate  naturally occurring  behavior. Roth argues that this pursuit of invisibility compromises the ethical principles undergirding the subject\/researcher relationship - specifically, the doctrine of mutually informed consent. In the final chapter he offers an alternative model of videotape-centered research wherein subjects' reactivity to observation is shown to enlarge the meaning and purpose of social inquiry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Roth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820411507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820411507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Jeffrey Roth","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453408293119,"sku":"9780820411507","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c178eea-e07c-4399-ab4b-f987ad812b91.jpg?v=1777300065","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-disturbed-subject-jeffrey-roth-9780820411507","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
