ethics in research

In this week’s lesson we saw the harm that researchers can cause their human subjects. Many of the examples that are used to highlight this harm come from the experimental method which is popular in the field of psychology. However, researchers who engage with human subjects can cause emotional harm simply by asking questions about issues like domestic abuse or reproductive rights. Survey respondents who provide information to researchers about their employer or their behavior at work may jeopardize their jobs. Given the IRB process that is in place we can have confidence that any scholarly research was conducted in an ethical manner. What are your thoughts on the two examples provided in this week’s lesson and why is it important to adhere to ethical norms in research?
