    Este artículo explora la práctica del respeto dentro de los métodos de investigación cualitativa. Cómo el respeto interpersonal juega un papel importante en la estima sentida dentro de una relación, así cómo también puede servir para cultivar la confianza entre los investigadores y sus participantes en un estudio de investigación. Este artículo detalla los resultados de un estudio de investigación que examina el respeto entre un profesor y sus alumnos mediante la ampliación de la investigación sobre sus experiencias de sentirse respetado durante el proceso de investigación. Los datos emergentes encontraron que los participantes creían que el respeto está vinculado con la estima de su contribución, así como también la capacidad relacional del investigador para transmitir plenamente esta estima. La reciprocidad de la estima de los participantes fue citada ayudándolos a confiar en un investigador y comprometerse más honestamente con el estudio. Sin embargo, la colusión no intencional a través del desarrollo de la relación entre participante(s) e investigador(es) surge como un asunto relevante y, por lo tanto, posiblemente, disminuye la validez de los resultados de la investigación.

    This article explores the practice of respect within qualitative research methods. As interpersonal respect plays a significant role in the esteem felt within a relationship, it can also serve to cultivate trust between researchers and their participants in a research study. This article details the findings of a research study examining respect between a teacher and her pupils by extending the investigation into their experiences of feeling respected during the research process. The emerging data found that participants believed respect to be linked with an esteem of their contribution as well as the relational capacity of the researcher to fully convey this esteem. The reciprocation of esteem by participants was cited helping them to trust a researcher and to a more honest engagement with the study. However, unintentional collusion through this increased rapport emerged as a salient issue and therefore possibly diminishing the validity of the research findings.
