Study Notes
Ethics in Research
- Ethics are standards of conduct that distinguish between right and wrong.
- Ethics help us to determine the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behaviors.
Ethical Principles of Research
- Guidelines that ensure responsible conduct of research
- Educates and monitors researchers to ensure high ethical standards
Belmont Report
Ethical Principles of Research Explained
-
Respect for Persons
- People should be treated as autonomous
- Autonomous - A person can make their own decisions about what they do and agree to
- Participants in research should voluntarily agree to participate after providing complete information on the research process
- A consent form should be provided for all potential participants
- People with diminished autonomy should be protected
- Children, the ill, or individuals with mental disabilities may require a parent or guardian to consent to their participation
- People should be treated as autonomous
-
Beneficence
- Doing no harm
- Researchers have a moral duty to promote the course of action that they believe is in the best interests of the participants, respondents, or subjects.
-
Justice
- Justice in research means being fair in the recruitment of participants.
- Never include people who are vulnerable and less able to decline participation, as they may be pressured or scared to say no.
Ethical Issues in Research
- Voluntary Participation - Participants must be willing to participate in the study without coercion.
- Informed Consent - Participants must be provided with clear information about the study and its risks before deciding whether to participate. - Free from Risk of Harm - Researchers must ensure that participants are not put at risk of physical or psychological harm.
- Confidentiality - Information about participants should be kept private and confidential.
- Anonymity - The identity of participants should not be known to researchers, even in the analysis of data.
Analysis of Research Procedure
- Maria's Science Investigatory Project
- Unacceptable - As Maria's project involves using plastic materials, there is a potential risk of exposure to harmful chemicals. The participants should be informed of this risk and choose to participate voluntarily after understanding the potential risks.
Ethics
- Standards guiding conduct, distinguishing between right and wrong.
