Please see below a proposed research study. Please write a paragraph identifying the 5 most prominent ethical issues you see in relation to this proposed study.

Briefly describe the main objectives of your study

1. To identify if different indexical values are associated with the hashtag in its spoken and writtenforms
2. If so, highlight further areas of interest to help explain this What methods are you using for your study Group 1; audio recording of 1 participants, who will all read out sentences given to them by the researcher, which will then be played to other participants Group 2; 3 Focus groups (6-8 people), who will be asked to discuss the hashtag in written,audio, or both formats, dependent on group Who are your participants? What criteria will be used in deciding on the inclusion and exclusion of participants in the study Group 1; Participant will be a native English speaker with an Edinburgh accent, in order to remain as neutral as possible Group 2; Participants will be recruited through the volunteer panel, social media recruitment and by asking people I know (naive to the aims of the study) to participate. All who sign up will be eligible to participate, with the constraint that they must have normal hearing. How will you recruit your participants? How many will you aim to recruit I intend to recruit through the Volunteer panel, and through social media/by asking people I know (naive to the aims of the study) to participate Group 1; 1 person Group 2; 3 focus groups of 6-8 Does the study involve a 'gatekeeper' If you have a gatekeeper, please describe. What will your participants be asked to do for your study, and where will you see them/test them Group 1; will be required to speak aloud sentences which will be recorded, and played anonymously to the focus groups. They will be seen in a place of mutual convenience (study room/office etc). Group 2; focus groups will be required to discuss stimuli (either audio recordings or spoken texts), and discuss as a group what they think of the hashtags they encounter. They will be tested in a room in a University of Edinburgh Building, equipped with a device suitable to play an audio recording. This will be recorded in order to be transcribed.What (potentially) identifiable information are you gathering Audio recordings of group 1 and 2 Names and emails of participant group 2, in order for them to be able to withdraw their data, or for me to contact if there is a requirement for follow-up (which will not be shared with anyone other than myself and my supervisor) If you have identified risks which are possible or probable and, if manifest, either significant or severe, please explain in more detail, and identify measures you will take to reduce or eliminate these risks Participants in Group 1 might be identified by their voice by listeners in Groups 2 and 3. However, since there is nothing that the speakers are saying that is compromising, or even their own words, there is extremely little risk. Prior to the end of their participation, the listeners in Groups 2 and 3 will be told that the speakers in Group 1 were instructed in what to say, and the researcher will ensure that they know this fact. In addition, all the actual content of what is said will be as neutral as possible. 2.1D.6e How will the identifiable data (including consent forms) be stored during the data collection period? What will happen to the data after the data collection period has finished? How will you maintain secure storage of this data? What data formats will you use to ensure long-term usability The identifiable data will be scanned onto a computer and uploaded onto the Universities secure cloud storage during the data collection period. It will be stored there, and not on a computer. Paper copies will be kept for the duration of the study in a locked drawer, and given to the supervisor after the study is finished. After the data collection period has finished, all cloud data will be handed over to the supervisor. 2.1D.6f How will the identifiable data be used? Who will have access to them? How will you share them? How will participants be informed about these issues It will be played to other participants, to form the basis of the questions they are asked. Only the two researchers will have access to them. The data will be shared over the University's secure cloud storage, and shown to other participants on a laptop/computer in a University building.
