A investigator decides to conduct a survey of adult learners to understand the barriers to adult education. The investigator has obtained permission from the adult education program to explain his study to these adult students and ask if they would be interested in participating. The investigator plans to pass out surveys to everyone in the class. Anyone who cares to complete it may do so. All surveys will be returned to the instructor who will place them in an envelope provided by the investigator. The envelope will then be sealed and mailed to the investigator for analysis. The investigator believes this study meets the definitions of minimal risk and the criteria for exemption from IRB review. What are his next steps? Proceed as described in the case. The study clearly meets the definition of minimal risk. Furthermore the investigator will not know who completed the surveys. Proceed as describe in the case. The instructor of the adult student has given permission for the research to take place. Contact the local IRB office to determine whether or not the study must be submitted for review. Proceed as described in the case. The regulations clearly state the research described above would be exempt from IRB review.

The president of the school board of a moderately sized urban school district has sent out a memo requesting a study to determine whether the district's gifted and talented (G/T) program is meeting the needs of artistically gifted students in the district. An assistant superintendent is assigned the responsibility of conducting the research.If the assistant superintendent, as the researcher, collects data about the gifted and talented program using interviews rather than surveys, what conclusion can be made about the collection process?Group of answer choicesA. The data collected can be drawn from a much larger number of individuals. B. The data collected will include richer detail but will address a smaller number of topics or issues. C. The interviews are less desirable in this case, even though they are likely to be less expensive to conduct. D. Surveys will require the researcher to spend more time in preparation than will the interviews.

1.10 Cheaters, scope of inference: Exercise 1.5 introduces a study where researchers studying the relationship between honesty, age, and self-control conducted an experiment on 160 children between the ages of 5 and 15. The researchers asked each child to toss a fair coin in private and to record the outcome (white or black) on a paper sheet, and said they would only reward children who report white. Half the students were explicitly told not to cheat and the others were not given any explicit instructions. Differences were observed in the cheating rates in the instruction and no instruction groups, as well as some differences across children's characteristics within each group. a) Identify the population of interest in the study. The researchers 80 children between the ages of 5 and 15 who were told not to cheat All children between the ages of 5 and 15 160 children between the ages of 5 and 15 b) Identify the sample for this study. The researchers All children between the ages of 5 and 15 80 children between the ages of 5 and 15 who were told not to cheat 160 children between the ages of 5 and 15 c) Can the results of the study can be generalized to the population? Should the findings of the study can be used to establish causal relationships. If the sample is randomly selected and representative of the entire population, then the results can be generalized to the target population. Furthermore, since this study is observational, the findings can be used to infer causal relationships. If the sample is randomly selected and representative of the entire population, then the results can be generalized to the target population. Furthermore, since this study is experimental, the findings cannot be used to infer causal relationships.
