Title: Addressing Challenging Situation in Field Research—CONVERGE Extreme Events Research Check Sheets Series
Conducting field research—which often involves traveling to unfamiliar areas, visiting people’s homes, and interacting with strangers—inevitably results in some uncertainty about how to behave or react when faced with a difficult situation. This check sheet offers guidance on how to respond to ambiguous, awkward, or challenging moments that may accompany field research. About the CONVERGE Extreme Events Research Check Sheets Series: The National Science Foundation-supported CONVERGE facility at the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder has developed a series of brief check sheets that are meant to be used as researchers design their studies, prepare to enter the field, conduct field research, and exit the field. The series offers best practices for extreme events research and includes check sheets that are free to the research community.
