Low- it was a covert observation so the staff didn’t know they were taking part/being studied and so would treat the patients how they really would without changing their behaviour

It is high in depth and detail about the treatment of patients

The pseudopatients lied about the symptoms the staff had no reason to think they were faking it, as healthy people do not say they hear voices that are not there

What is an issue with the way the pseudopatients recorded data in Rosenhan?

A

The findings are qualitative they could have been biased in what they chose to report so there is subjectivity

29
Q

What are the ethical issues with Rosenhan?

A

There was problems with deception because the Pseudopatients lied about their symptoms, This study has issues with protection from harm because the pseudopatients were given medication and it took time away from real patients, There are issues with withdrawal as the staff couldn’t stop taking part and the pseudopatients couldn’t leave, There was problems with informed consent because the staff didn’t know about the research
