Ethics in Research01:56

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.
Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture01:27

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture.

Humanistic Psychology01:24

Humanistic Psychology

Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.

  • Validation of standardized research tools for indigenous contexts.
  • Application of qualitative, participatory, and decolonizing research methodologies.

Main Results:

  • Significant disparities exist between indigenous and non-indigenous elders.
  • Standardized research tools often require adaptation for indigenous worldviews.
  • Qualitative and participatory methods empower indigenous elders and challenge Eurocentric perspectives.

Conclusions:

  • Future research should prioritize indigenous elders' voices and experiences.
  • Decolonizing and participatory approaches are essential for ethical and effective research.
  • Incorporating historical trauma, life-course, phenomenology, and critical gerontology is vital.
