Dealing with actorial expectation in the researcher-actor relationship.

This research article aims to study the relationship between researcher and actors in the field studied in the light of actorial expectation and its effects in the research process. From a doctoral research carried out in CIFRE and favoring a survey by participant observation, the article exposes the self-analysis by the researcher of his posture when he is confronted with the expression of expectations with regard to him some players in the field, tutors-nurses in psychiatry. The reaction to these expectations leads him to take part in working days bringing together these tutors and to return to them certain research data concerning them. It thus identifies a hidden function constituting a resource for the activity of tutors, both in the context of tutoring and in care services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
