what is a peer review
process of subjecting a piece of research to independent scrutiny
- by experts in that same field
what is the purpose of a peer reviw
checks validity of the research (before it is published)
the 2 steps to peer review
1)researcher submits their research to the editor of a journal
2)the editor will send the research to a peer reviewer
What are the 3 outcomes of a peer review
1)published-no issues under found with the research
2)feedback to improve research before it can be published- issues found
3)rejected/cant be published
How to deal with deception
Participants should be given a full debrief
Where: 1)the true aims and all the details that weren’t told to them/accurately should be told
2) given a right to withdrawal their data from the study
If a researcher invades privacy what should they do to make their study more ethical
If privacy is invadedconfidentiality should be protected
Confidentiality-right to personal data being protected
How deal with confidently/privacy
1)protecting the personal details collected
For example: just using initials
What is informed consent
Getting permission from people before they take part
And making them aware of: the aims/what’s involved/ any possible risks
Alternative ways of getting consent- not accepted but sometimes needed
1) presumptive consent - similar group of people are asked if the study is okay
( if similar group agree=consent for participants)
2)prior general consent-Participants give consent for several studies in advance
3)Retrospective consent- asking for consent after study/during de-briefing
What are the problems with retrospective consent
1) participants may have been subject to deception
2)participants may feel pressured to now give consent(not protecting from harm)
How to deal with informed consent
Participant should be given a form detailing what’s study about/whats involved /possible risks
(any thing thay might affect their decision to participant(
If researching kids:
Get parental consent
Why interviweess may be used over a questionnaire
As interviews or face-to-face interaction-
interviewers can ask, in-depth questions to obtain more detailed data
Whereas
Questionnaires are less detailed/accurate on the topic
As: participants responses are restricted
Because : there is no interviewer to extract the desired info from the respondent
