IRB
INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD
Composed of laypeople and researchers, evaluate research proposals to ensure that they follow ethical standards
INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD
- First task is to decide whether a proposed study increases participants risk of injury since psychological research can cause physical and/or psychological discomfort
- Accurately estimate the degree of risk in the research. Typically, do this by reading the literature and consulting with colleagues
- Help researchers estimate the degree of risk involved in their studies
OBJECTIVES OF INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD
Protect the safety of research participants
OBJECTIVES OF INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD
increases the chance of harm compared with not participating in the study
At risk
do not increase the likelihood of injury
Minimal risk
When a risk/benefit analysis determines that gains in knowledge outweight risks to participants
APPROVED AT RISK STUDY by IRB
3 Principles of THE BELMONT REPORT
Respect for person
Beneficence
Justice
Individuals have the right of self-determination (basis of informed consent)
Respect for persons
Minimize harm and maximize potential benefits (basis of risk/benefit analysis)
Beneficence
Fairness in both the burdens and benefits of research
Justice
obligation of a physician not to harm the patient
NONMALEFICENCE
A subject/guardian agrees in writing to the subject’s participation after explaining relevant details of the experiment
INFORMED CONSENT
Description may include risks and benefits but doesn’t extend to deception or the hypothesis
INFORMED CONSENT
Most crucial principle built into ethics codes is the right of a participant to refuse to be in the study or discontinue participation
INFORMED CONSENT
