Study Notes
Ethical Principles in Research
-
Respect for Persons: Requires that research subjects voluntarily participate and are fully informed about the study. Violations can occur if data is collected under false pretenses, as seen in Humphreys' Tearoom Trade study.
-
Deductive Disclosure: Refers to the risk of identifying subjects through specific data points. The "Tastes, Ties, and Time (T3)" study exemplified this violation, as identifiable data allowed for re-identification despite anonymity measures.
-
Principle of Justice: Mandates the equitable distribution of research benefits and burdens. Ensures that no population is chosen for convenience and that subjects are treated fairly.
-
Beneficence: Focuses on ensuring that risks associated with research are reasonable compared to the expected benefits. This principle requires careful evaluation of potential harms versus advantages for participants.
-
Informed Consent: Integral to the principle of respect for persons, ensuring that subjects are informed and understand their participation is voluntary. Consent forms serve to communicate essential study information to participants.
Application in Research
-
IRB Approval: Institutional Review Boards (IRB) assess the ethical implications of research studies. The approval of a study involving background noise effects highlights that appropriate consent forms can meet ethical standards.
-
Principle Interconnections: Respect for persons, beneficence, and justice are interconnected in research ethics. Each principle aligns with protecting participants' rights and well-being, guiding ethical research practices.
