Ethics in Research01:56

Ethics in Research

25.3K
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.

Naturalistic Observations

16.9K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

17.0K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Bias01:22

Bias

7.2K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

12.3K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Humanistic Psychology01:24

Humanistic Psychology

2.3K
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.
This approach...

Area of Science:

  • Indigenous Research Methodologies
  • Community-Based Participatory Research
  • Nursing Research Ethics

Background:

  • Ethical research in indigenous contexts requires culturally sensitive approaches.
  • Adapting research methods to tribal communities' unique attributes is crucial.
  • Successful adaptation often involves iterative learning and trial-and-error.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To share practical lessons for novice nurse researchers entering "Indian country" for the first time.
  • To offer insights into processes, environments, timelines, and barriers not typically covered in academic settings.
  • To guide researchers in conducting ethical and relevant inquiries within tribal communities.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized semistructured, iterative sessions to gather researchers' experiences.
  • Compiled and interpreted written responses and field notes from dialogue.
  • Organized data into themes reflecting key learning points.

Main Results:

  • Identified three overarching themes: orientation and negotiation, situating research, and navigating processes.
  • Key subthemes include managing outsider perceptions, negotiating time/distance, and relying on gatekeepers.
  • Highlighted the importance of aligning research with community priorities and developing cross-cultural communication skills.

Conclusions:

  • Novice researchers' experiences in tribal settings foster unique sensibilities.
  • These developed sensibilities can guide future nurse researchers partnering with tribal communities.
  • Emphasizes the need for intuition and adaptability in indigenous research.
