Abstract | This paper presents criteria for establishing the trustworthiness of naturalistic inquiries, and specific techniques to facilitate their achievement or determine the degree of their achievement. The following criteria are briefly described: fairness; and ontological, educative, catalytic and tactical authenticity. Explored in greater detail, fairness is achieved: (1) as a balance between harm and good; (2) when harm is minimized and/or gain is maximized; (3) when circumstances allow for mutual advantage; (4) when all parties are equally free to act in self-deemed appropriate ways; and (5) when established rules are heeded. Four criteria for achieving fairness include: fair negotiations; appellate mechanism availability; informed consent regarding inquiry procedures; and assiduous use of member-checks. The fairness criterion may be violated through deception; withholding information; collusion; arbitrariness in exercise of power; abrogation of rules or defaults; misconstruction of the definition of fairness; and breakdown in the apellate system. To achieve fairness in an inquiry, the inquirer must assume an impartial posture; provide relevant data collection; assess all parties at risk to be certain the inquiry deals with all relevant factors; refuse to withold information; be an educative agent; deliver a negotiation agenda; and act as convener and chief mediator of negotiations.
