Ethics in Research01:56

Ethics in Research

25.8K
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.

Group Design

10.7K
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Blind Procedures

Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which...

Surveys02:16

Surveys

17.0K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Groupthink01:34

Groupthink

50.2K
When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...

Cause and Effect01:53

Cause and Effect

12.5K
While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Medical Ethics
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Trust between research participants and researchers is crucial for successful studies.
  • Participant perspectives on trust are not well understood.
  • This study explores trust from the participant viewpoint.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine whom research participants trust during their involvement in studies.
  • To understand the basis of trust for non-Indigenous research participants.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative research approach.
  • Semi-structured interviews with 36 research participants (including eight Indigenous participants).
  • Thematic analysis of interview data, focusing on non-Indigenous participants.

Main Results:

  • Non-Indigenous participants' trust is primarily placed in research institutions.
  • Trust in institutions is linked to their established systems of research ethics.
  • Institutional reputation and prestige significantly influence participant trust.

Conclusions:

  • For researchers in non-Indigenous settings, participant trust is intrinsically tied to institutional trust.
  • Understanding institutional trust factors is essential for building and maintaining participant rapport.
  • Researchers should acknowledge the institutional context influencing their relationship with participants.
