1. Ethical guidelines and voluntary participation An introduction to conducting social research should include the four main categories of constraints on research: scientific, administrative, ethical, and political. Some research study designs, despite exploring topics and being scientifically sound, are ethically prohibitive. Circle Answer: Many professions operate under ethical (permissions, constraints). Anyone involved in social science research needs to (be aware of, purchase) the general agreements shared by researchers about what is proper and improper in the conduct of scientific inquiry. One major tenet of social research ethics is that experimental participation (need not, must) be voluntary. Multiple Choice: Which of the following is a scientific concern that conflicts with voluntary participation? a. objectivity b. internal validity c. generalizability d. honest reporting Madison is interested in the subject of high school drug use. She convinces the principal at the local high school to have all of the social studies teachers administer an anonymous questionnaire she wrote. Madison then analyzes the data, making sure any information that could possibly identify individual students is not in her report. Is there an ethical violation in the study described, and if so, what is it? a. there are no apparent ethical violations b. Madison does not protect the identities of the high school students she studies. c. the high school students do not know they are being studied d. the high school students know they are being studied but are in a position where they might expect benefits for participating or consequences for not participating.

Professional ethical standards provide guidelines about the treatment of people in research studies. Those guidelines include a. protecting the person from harm and discomfort. b. fully explaining the research after the experiment has been completed. c. keeping information about individual participants confidential d. all of these answers.
The central ethical concern of psychological research with humans is the possibility that money allocated to a research program may be wasted. Research may fail to generalize to the population of interest. Participants may have harm inflicted on them. Experimenters may be subjected to unacceptable working conditions. The correlation coefficient is best described as a numerical index of the degree of relationship between two variables. The main purpose of the double-blind procedure is to prevent experimenter bias.
