Participants’ Rights

A

Ensuring that no psychological or physical harm is caused to the research participants and the researcher must also respect the participants’ rights as individuals.

A

The researcher must try to ensure that participants’ involvement in the research is voluntary. Participants must not be placed under any pressure to take part in the study.

26

29
Q

Debriefing

A

The researcher must provide an opportunity for participants to obtain appropriate information about the nature, results and conclusions of the research. Participants must be informed of the purpose of the investigation at the conclusion of the research. The researcher must correct any mistaken attitudes or beliefs that participants may have about the research.

30
Q

Beneficence

A

The benefits of the study must outweigh the harm.

31
Q

Limitation of experiment

A
  • time (length of experiment)
  • sample/population size (may/may not represent whole population)
    Money
32
Q

How to make fair test?

A
  • same amount liquid etc
  • environment
  • same pop. size
  • same people if possible
33
Q

Graphing

A
  • Independent x-axis (bottom)
  • dependent y-axis (side)
  • title
  • labels
34
Q

Controlled vs. experimental

A

The difference between a control group and an experimental group is one group is exposed to the conditions of the experiment and the other is not.
