Interactive technology assessment (iTA) overcomes ethical bias in research by including diverse stakeholder perspectives. This ensures decisions are justified through achieved agreement, promoting fairness and inclusivity in evaluations.

Area of Science:

  • Ethics
  • Evaluation Research
  • Technology Assessment

Background:

  • Evaluation research often suffers from normative bias due to neglected stakeholder perspectives.
  • This bias compromises the ethical integrity and validity of assessment findings.
  • Incorporating diverse viewpoints is crucial for unbiased evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present interactive technology assessment (iTA) as a solution to normative bias in evaluation.
  • To demonstrate how stakeholder agreement in iTA can justify assessment-based decisions.
  • To explore the conditions necessary for achieving just and valid agreement.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing interactive technology assessment (iTA) framework.
  • Identifying stakeholder agreement with wide reflective equilibrium.
Keywords:
Health Care and Public Health

  • Analyzing conditions for achieving consensus in ethical assessments.

    • Main Results:

    • iTA effectively mitigates normative bias by integrating multiple perspectives.
    • Stakeholder agreement, conceptualized as wide reflective equilibrium, provides a basis for decision justification.
    • Conditions for achieving just and achievable agreement were identified.

    Conclusions:

    • Interactive technology assessment offers a robust ethical framework for evaluation research.
    • Achieving wide reflective equilibrium among stakeholders is key to unbiased and justifiable decisions.
    • Further research should focus on implementing and refining iTA under various conditions.
