Ethics - Research Methods Flashcards
What is Informed Consent?
Researchers tell potential participants exactly what is going to happen to them in the research, its aims, what they will do with the findings and how the participants can withdraw if they no longer want to take part. They will then ask them, without pressure of any kind, whether they are willing to take part.
What is the Right to Withdraw?
Giving participants the opportunity to leave the study at any time, and remove their results, if they no longer want to take part. Participants should be told about their right to withdraw and if they are being paid for participating they should be informed that they will still be paid if they drop out.
What is Protection of Participants?
Participants should not be harmed, either physically or psychologically when participating in research.
What is the name of the ethical guideline that means keeping personal information confidential?
Confidentiality
Finish the sentence: participants often suffer distress or pain during the course of a study and this is considered acceptable as long as:
Parts of the procedure that may cause harm are identified and then steps are taken to minimise the risks, the harm is unavoidable, and the study could not be carried out in any other way, the harm is short-term and relatively minor, the participants do not leave the study with any long-term harm or distress.
What is Debriefing?
Telling the participants what the study was about before they leave.
What is it called when you gain informed consent from other people; if they think the study is acceptable you can presume that participants will also?
Presumptive Consent
what is presumptive consent?
when you gain informed consent from other people; if they think the study is acceptable you can presume that participants will also
what can you gain, when you can’t get informed consent?
