Conceptualising and operationalising ethical principles like beneficence (maximise benefits, minimise risks) is complex. We contribute to understanding beneficence by critically analysing data documenting participatory international development research processes in Eswatini and India, informed by capabilities theory. Our results problematise (i) conceptualising beneficence solely in relation to either local or academic norms and (ii) offsetting economic, social and cognitive, or individual, group and societal benefits and/or harms, as either practice risks perpetuating unjust economic and/or epistemological hierarchies. Our results suggest that beneficence will be optimally achieved if it is conceptualised and operationalised considering diverse stakeholder perspectives and social justice theory. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

将受益原则转化为道德参与发展研究实践

诸如福利（最大化收益，最小化风险）之类的道德原则的概念化和操作化是复杂的。在能力理论的指导下，我们通过对分析Eswatini和印度参与性国际发展研究过程的数据进行批判性分析，从而有助于理解慈善。我们的结果存在以下问题：（i）仅在地方或学术规范方面将慈善概念化；（ii）抵消经济，社会和认知或个人，群体和社会的利益和/或危害，因为实践中存在使经济和/或不公正长期存在的风险认识论层次。我们的结果表明，如果将利益相关者的不同观点和社会正义理论加以概念化和实施，将可以最佳地实现慈善。分级为4 +©2020 John Wiley＆Sons，Ltd.
