Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Current evidence on adolescent participation in violence research has primarily measured distress, harm or upset using quantitative methods. There are relatively few studies which have employed qualitative methods to understand adolescent emotional experiences, and to articulate the experiences of participation from their own perspective.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess adolescents\' experiences of participating in research on violence in different contexts, namely Romania, South Africa, and the Philippines.
METHODS: A purposive sample of adolescents (N = 53, 51 % female) were recruited from rural, urban, and peri-urban areas in Romania, the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, and Metro Manila, Philippines. Semi-structured one-on-one in-depth interviews and drawings sought adolescent perspectives on their experiences of participation, including the emotions they felt, and their perceptions of research on violence.
RESULTS: Drawing on analysis of interviews and drawings, adolescents reported a layered emotional experience, ranging from sadness, anger, apprehension, and upset, to joy, relief, and laughter. Their emotional experiences were driven by participation as a relational encounter, both with the researchers involved, as well as with other children and young people they encountered. Adolescents emphasized participation as enabling disclosure of difficult experiences, and the creation of awareness of violence.
CONCLUSIONS: Adolescent perspectives of participation in research on violence are nuanced and encompass their lived experience as well as the fundamentally relational nature of participation. Adolescents experienced increased awareness of topics in violence and perceived research participation as enabling disclosure and possible help-seeking. Measures of participation impact developed along with adolescents, which reflect this complexity, are needed.

摘要：
背景：目前关于青少年参与暴力研究的证据主要测量了痛苦，使用定量方法造成伤害或不安。有相对较少的研究采用定性的方法来理解青少年的情感体验，并从自己的角度阐述参与的经验。
目的：本研究旨在评估青少年在不同背景下参与暴力研究的经验，即罗马尼亚,南非,和菲律宾。
方法：从农村招募了一个有目的的青少年样本（N=53，51％为女性），城市,和罗马尼亚的城市周边地区，南非东开普省,马尼拉大都会，菲律宾。半结构化的一对一深度访谈和绘画寻求青少年对他们参与经验的看法，包括他们所感受到的情绪,以及他们对暴力研究的看法。
结果：基于访谈和图纸的分析，青少年报告了分层的情感体验，从悲伤，愤怒,忧虑,心烦意乱，喜悦，救济,和笑声。他们的情感体验是由作为关系相遇的参与驱动的，都有研究人员参与，以及他们遇到的其他儿童和年轻人。青少年强调参与能够披露困难的经历，以及建立暴力意识。
结论：青少年参与暴力研究的观点是微妙的，涵盖了他们的生活经验以及参与的基本关系性质。青少年对暴力主题的认识有所提高，并认为研究参与有助于披露和寻求帮助。与青少年一起制定的参与影响措施，这反映了这种复杂性，是需要的。
