Ethics in Research

24.0K
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.

Ethics and Bioethics

1.6K
Ethics is a philosophical study of moral actions. Ethics attempts to determine what is valuable for individuals and society. It examines the rational justification of moral judgments and analyzes what is morally just, fair, and right.

Ethical theories serve as a foundation for decision-making and represent the viewpoints from which people seek direction. They...

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Cognitivism

Cognitive psychology emerged as a significant field in the mid-20th century. It focused on understanding humans' internal mental processes. This approach emphasizes how people perceive, remember, think, and solve problems—elements critical to human cognition.
Previously dominated by behaviorism, which prioritized observable behaviors and largely ignored mental processes, psychology transformed in the 1950s. Cognitive psychologists argue that understanding how we think and process...

Functionalism01:11

Functionalism

William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce were instrumental in founding functional psychology, which draws heavily from Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. This theory suggests that individual traits, including behaviors, are adapted to their environments through natural selection. At the heart of functionalism is the concept of adaptation, meaning that a trait enhances an individual's chances of survival and reproduction.
James envisioned psychology's...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Academia's "third mission" of community interaction needs new models. A "Communal Academia" framework is proposed to foster activism and pluralistic engagement, moving beyond traditional "Ivory Tower" or "Reciprocal" approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Higher Education Studies
  • Community Engagement

Background:

  • Academia's
  • third mission
  • often involves community interaction, but significant rifts persist, particularly with marginalized communities.
  • Existing models like
  • Ivory Tower
  • and
  • Reciprocal
  • (Win-Win) have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clarify core concepts of academia-community interaction (e.g., outreach, accessibility, engagement).
  • To critically evaluate existing frameworks and propose a new model for more equitable and effective engagement.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis and review of existing literature on academic outreach and engagement.
  • Development and presentation of two established models:
  • Ivory Tower
  • and
  • Reciprocal
  • (Win-Win).
  • Introduction and elaboration of a novel framework:
  • Communal Academia
  • .
  • Illustration with hypothetical and real-world examples.

Main Results:

  • The
  • Ivory Tower
  • and
  • Reciprocal
  • models, while useful, can perpetuate hierarchical boundaries and hinder epistemic values.
  • These traditional models may inadvertently link diversity with alienation and ethnic divergence.
  • The proposed
  • Communal Academia
  • model emphasizes activism, heterogeneity, and pluralistic interaction.

Conclusions:

  • A shift towards a
  • Communal Academia
  • framework offers practical advantages for community engagement.
  • This model promotes a more philosophically grounded and equitable approach to university-community partnerships.
  • It addresses the limitations of traditional models by foregrounding shared activism and diverse interactions.
