ETHICS IN RESEARCH BENEFICENCE AND NONMALEFICEN 🞆 This principle states that in CE professional actions, researchers must seek to safeguard the welfare and rights of those with whom they interact professionally and other affected persons and the welfare of animal subjects of research.  🞆 Informed Consent should include OBTAINING purpose of the research, the INFORMED methods/procedures being used, how CONSENT the results will be used, who will have access to results, as well as associated demands,discomforts, inconveniences and risks that the respondents/participants may face. While is it not possible to know exactly what information a potential participant would (or would not) want to know, you should aim not to leave out any material information; that is, information that you feel would influence whether consent would (or would not) be granted.  🞆 Another component of informed OBTAINING consent is the principle that INFORMED respondents/participants should CONSENT be volunteers, taking part without having been coerced and deceived. If an informed consent cannot be obtained from participants, you must explain why this is the case. You should also be aware that there are instances where informed consent is not necessarily needed. These include certain educational, organizational , and naturalistic research settings.  🞆 Summarizes what we are supposed not to do in our practice as researchers. Cases of manipulation, fraud, INTEGRITY fabricating results, and general scientific misconduct are not unheard of, affecting tremendously the field. 🞆 Deception is the “explicit provision of erroneous information” – in other words, lying. 🞆 Can be a necessary component of covert research. For practical reasons, it is acceptable/justifiable to not let everyone know what you’re doing in your research (like, naturalistic observational).  🞆 With the exception of those Provision of instances of covert observation, right to research participants should withdraw always have the right to withdraw from the research process. Furthermore, participants should have the right to withdraw at any stage in the research process. When a participant chooses to withdraw from the research process, they should not be pressured or coerced in any way to try and stop them from withdrawing. Respect for 🞆 Researchers should be aware of rights and and respect cultural, dignity individual, and role differences, including those based on age, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, language, and socioeconomic status, and consider these factors when working with members of such groups.
