Research Ethics Flashcards
In research with human participants, most universities and research institutions have _ that judge the ethicality of proposed research.
Peer Committees
_ provide accurate information about their research proposal and obtain approval prior to conducting the research.
Institutional Approval
In the informed consent to research, psychologists inform participants about:
1. The _ of the research, expected _ and _.
2. Right to _ and _ from the research once participation has begun.
3. Foreseeable consequences of _ or _.
4. Reasonable foreseeable factors that may be expected to influence their willingness to participate such as potential _, _, or _.
5. Any prospective research _.
6. Limits of _.
7. Incentives for _.
8. Whom to contact for _ about the research and research _.
Psychologists inform participants about
1. The purpose of the research, expected duration and procedures.
2. Right to decline to participate and withdraw from the research once participation has begun.
3. Foreseeable consequences of declining or withdrawing.
4. Reasonable foreseeable factors that may be expected to influence their willingness to participate such as potential risks, discomfort or adverse effects.
5. Any prospective research benefits.
6. Limits of confidentiality.
7. Incentives for participation.
8. Whom to contact for questions about the research and research participants’ rights.
The _ provide opportunity for the participants o ask questions and receive answers.
Informed Consent
Psychologists obtain informed consent from research participants prior to recording their voices or images for data collection unless:
1. the research consists solely of _, and it is not anticipated that the recording will be used in a manner that could cause personal identification or harm, or
2. the research design includes _, and consent for the use of the recording is obtained during debriefing.
Psychologists obtain informed consent from research participants prior to recording their voices or images for data collection unless
1. the research consists solely of naturalistic observations in public places, and it is not anticipated that the recording will be used in a manner that could cause personal identification or harm, or
2. the research design includes deception, and consent for the use of the recording is obtained during debriefing.
Psychologists may dispense with informed consent only:
1. where research would not reasonably be assumed to _ or _;
2. where otherwise permitted by _ or _.
Psychologists may dispense with informed consent only:
1. where research would not reasonably be assumed to create distress or harm
2. where otherwise permitted by law or federal or institutional regulations.
Deception in Research states that:
a. Psychologists do not conduct a study involving deception unless they have determined that _ by the study’s significant prospective scientific, educational, or applied value and that effective _.
b. Psychologists do not deceive prospective participants about research that is reasonably expected to cause physical pain or severe emotional distress.
c. Psychologists explain any deception that is an integral feature of the design and conduct of an experiment to participants as early as is feasible, preferably at _, but no later than at the _, and _ their data.
Deception in Research states that:
a. Psychologists do not conduct a study involving deception unless they have determined that the use of deceptive techniques is justified by the study’s significant prospective scientific, educational, or applied value and that effective nondeceptive alternative procedures are not feasible.
b. Psychologists do not deceive prospective participants about research that is reasonably expected to cause physical pain or severe emotional distress.
c. Psychologists explain any deception that is an integral feature of the design and conduct of an experiment to participants as early as is feasible, preferably at the conclusion of their participation, but no later than at the conclusion of the data collection, and permit participants to withdraw their data.
In debriefing:
a. Psychologists provide a prompt opportunity for participants to obtain appropriate information about the nature, results, and conclusions of the research, and they take reasonable steps to correct any _.
b. If scientific or humane values justify delaying or withholding this information, psychologists take reasonable measures to reduce the _.
c. When psychologists become aware that research procedures have _, they take reasonable steps to _.
In debriefing
a. Psychologists provide a prompt opportunity for participants to obtain appropriate information about the nature, results, and conclusions of the research, and they take reasonable steps to correct any misconceptions that participants may have of which the psychologists are aware.
b. If scientific or humane values justify delaying or withholding this information, psychologists take reasonable measures to reduce the risk of harm.
c. When psychologists become aware that research procedures have harmed a participant, they take reasonable steps to minimize the harm
In the types of informed consent, _ is the child’s affirmative agreement to participate in research. If the participant is 7-17 years of age, assent must be obtained. The _form must be written at the appropriate reading level of the youngest participant in the age range and use simple terminology.
Assent
In the types of informed consent, _ contains all elements of written consent, however, the participant has verbally read the elements and verbally agrees to join. _ may require corroborating documentation
Verbal Consent
In the types of informed consent, _ is generally used when there is a language barrier an English REC-approved consent is orally translated in the native language of the research participant.
Short Form
_ is where the investigator explains the general purposes of the research and completely describes the manipulations so that any questions or misunderstanding may be removed.
Debriefing
_ is minimizing known risks, where a participant reads a series of self-referent statements designed to induce elation. This is to counteract the negative mood induced earlier.
Removing Harmful Consequences
_ refers to the researcher’s agreement to handle, store, and share research data to ensure that information obtained from and about research participants is not improperly divulged.
Confidentiality
It is an outline/brief summary of your paper and your whole project which should have an intro, body, and conclusion. sufficient information for reviewers to judge the nature and significance of the topic, the adequacy of the investigative strategy, the nature of the results, and the conclusions and should be no more than 250 words.
