One of the most common concerns about conducting fieldwork in violent settings is the danger of re-traumatizing someone (e.g. via survey, interviews about harm). Does anyone know of any studies that actually tries to measure this risk? Or the magnitude/duration of the harm done?
I looked at this prepping for my PhD ethics board and was surprised. There's not much out there, results vary...but a good deal seems to indicate it might actually do more good than harm to get the chance to speak about trauma with a third party

Which might explain why most of my subjects seem to want to talk about the worst things that have happened (torture, rape and so on). They bring it up, while I'm still fumbling around trying to figuring out the most sensitive way to broach these topics.

Which indicates maybe we/IRBs/etc have the wrong angle on some of these concerns, and how to deal with or understand them. Anyway, check out these: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10508422.2010.521443 … https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/davidrwilliams/files/2004-ethics_of_research-williams.pdf …

All of that said, I couldn't find much about war-related contexts in this regard. A lot of it was with survivors of violence in non-war contexts. Curious to see if you find anything on doing this in the context of ongoing violence...

I have both interviewed and been interviewed as a tramatized person and it depends a lot on individuals skills, empathy and basic humanity. for some its natural, some can be trained up, others are sadly lacking.

I know of no such study but our experience conducting research with victims of violence in Afg support what Asshley's refering to: victims of violence (as well as perpetrators in some cases) go as far as begging to continue their story despite the terrible pain they go through

While telling their story. There is one aspect we often overlook: the danger is often more with the local researcher who interview the victim, and who might have tone through similar trauma. Local researcher find it sometimes really hard to continue an interview.
