Paul submitted his work presenting false transcripts such as manipulating research materials, equipment, or processes and even changing or omitting data/results such that the research is not accurately represented in the research record. What scientific fraud or research misconduct best describe Paul’s work?
Falsification
The Stanford Prison Experiment is well known for its numerous ethical violations. Zimbardo, a psychologist who led this research, observed that the participants were being psychologically abused through constant humiliation. Although Zimbardo had noticed this action, he persisted to resume the study to gain further results about the human behavior. What ethical violation can you assume from this situation?
Beneficence
Zimbardo divided his participants into two groups, group 1 as the prisoners and group 2 as the guards. Whilst discussing the participants’ role, Zimbardo mentioned that the participants who were assigned to be the prisoners would be treated as “real prisoners” within the research experiment. However, one day, the participants who were assigned as the prisoners, were randomly arrested by a real police officer and were sent to Zimbardo’s jail. Do you think Zimbardo has fully disclosed the participants’ role provided that he mentioned how they would be treated?
No

Alliah is a graduating student, but in order to graduate, she must finish her individual thesis and defend it. She was tasked to pass her review of related literature three days after it was announced, but due to time constraints, Alliah wasn’t able to find a research article and study that will support her study. This led Alliah into changing the details of a certain study that she saw on the internet in order to support her study. What type of research misconduct did Alliah engaged in?
Falsification

a. Used your best friend’s study as a reference and did not include it on your reference list. b. Altered the results of your study to prove your hypothesis. c. Put false references because you can’t find the right one. d. Answered your questionnaire for your research to complete the respondents needed.
