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.

Impression Management Techniques IV: Altercasting

136
Altercasting is a strategic communication technique in which an individual imposes a specific identity or social role onto another person to influence their behavior and shape the interaction. By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role...

Techniques of Therapeutic Communication II: Focusing, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing

10.7K
Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...

Framing Effects

7.8K
Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

55.2K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Participatory Research Methods
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Growing emphasis on health equity drives interest in trauma-informed care, cultural responsiveness, and community engagement.
  • Photovoice is increasingly utilized in research with vulnerable populations and sensitive topics due to its alignment with health equity goals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the limitations and concerns associated with the photovoice method.
  • To identify under-researched qualities and untapped potential of photovoice for further development.
  • To frame photovoice as a foundation for innovative and equitable health research and practice.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive review of existing photovoice literature.
  • Analysis of the author's interdisciplinary work in public health and the arts.
  • Identification and discussion of four key photovoice limitations.

Main Results:

  • Photovoice, while popular, has concerning limitations that require caution and innovation.
  • There is a lack of similarly adaptive participatory methods for vulnerable or sensitive research contexts.
  • Under-researched qualities of photovoice present opportunities for method adaptation and development.

Conclusions:

  • Photovoice's increasing use necessitates critical evaluation and responsive innovation.
  • Addressing photovoice's limitations can enhance its utility in promoting health equity.
  • Further study and adaptation of photovoice can foster more equitable health research and practice.
