Who are the participants in STUDY 3
of this research article?
The study’s participants were introductory psychology students, 25 of these participants self identified as male and 65 as female. They were in groups of 1 to 3 in the same experimental condition. For their participation they received credits towards a college class requirement (Shepperd & McNulty, 2002). 2.
Are the participants of this study considered to be part of a vulnerable population? Provide support for your response.
As students can easily be coerced into being a participant by the fact that it is needed for their class and denial of this activity can lead to a lower grade. This study states that they are receiving a credit that is required, from
this I would consider the participants as a vulnerable population. Some schools such as Chapman University write in their policy that when using students the credit toward the class must be extra credit or a non-research alternative must also be offered to get around this (Vulnerable Populations in
Research Purpose, n.d.). 3.
What compensation/incentives did the researchers offer for participation in the study? Was this appropriate compensation for participation or could
this be considered excessively coercive?
The researchers gave credit hours towards a mandatory course requirement for those students that participated in the study (Shepperd &
McNulty, 2002). Within many psychology programs especially those on a physical campus this mandatory requirement of participation in psychological studies is very common. I believe the compensation was appropriate given that most of the time they are operating out of college programs. Though it also could be considered exploitation due to the mandatory nature of the requirements and the relationships the professors have with the students and researchers. According to principles of ethical research the participants should be able to decide whether to participate in the study or not, without force or coercion (AAMFT 2021). 4.
How was the purpose of the study presented to the participants?
Participants were told that the purpose of the study was to assess the attitudes regarding a home testing procedure. The test was to determine the levels of thioamine acetylase (TAA) enzyme in their bodies, some people having higher amounts than others. When in low quantities may lead to problems involving the pancreas, this occuring in their early 20s. They would be able to test themselves and have their results at the end of
the hour (Shepperd & McNulty, 2002). 5.
Was the experimenter’s presentation of the study purpose accurate? (Hint: Were the researchers being wholly honest in their presentation of the study purpose)?
The researchers were not being honest in their presentation of the purpose to the participants. They stated they were testing the attitudes toward the home testing procedure when in reality they were testing their
reactions regarding the outcome of the results (Shepperd & McNulty, 2002). 6.
Were the participants given sufficient information about the study purpose and procedure to give informed consent? Explain why you think this is or is not the case.
I believe that they were given enough information about the procedure but not enough about the purpose as they did not present it accurately.
From what I understood about the study they lied about the existence of the medical pancreatic disease and the paricipants were given results that were formulated not by actual test results but that of what was needed for the study (Shepperd & McNulty). These participants may have truly believed that they were at risk based on their results and this could have led to emotional reactions. Even if the purpose was not sufficiently given the research team did debrief them afterwards, and from this I would imagine they would have told them the real purpose and that the test was fakticious. With all this said I would need to weigh the damage that the participants may have endured believing that they may have a disease, and whether the instructions of the study stated that “some of the features will not be revealed until the research is concluded”. If this is done it would be considered a valid incomplete disclosure, since I did not see this in the reading I would say that it was not valid consent (Office for Human Research Protections, 2016).
7.
Why was the design of this study important for the “believability” of the study results and conclusions?
The researchers needed the participants to believe that the testing procedure was real and that their results were medically backed in order to receive real reactions about the results. In order for this study to have validity the participants would have to believe this, if not they would have
not truly cared about the outcome of their results. In order to be excited or disappointed in an outcome they needed to have some personal stake in the process. 8.
Prior to starting a study, the research is proposed and needs to include both benefits and risks for participants. What benefits might the researchers have listed in their proposal for this research? What risks should they have listed in their proposal?
The research study could have included benefits such as medical knowledge to create better and healthier habits, in order to lower the production of the TAA enzyme. Though this is technically not a real benefit due to the disease being made up, this might be a benefit that was presented. The potential risk to the study would be a allergic reaction
to the testing kit if there was any solvents or materials that someone could be allergic too. The other relevant risk could have been mental as

"TOXIC HISTORYHoaeb is among many former Rössing employees who complained about being exposed to radiation at the mine. The impact of mining operations on workers has haunted Rössing for decades. In 2015, the company commissioned a study through the University of Manchester to investigate if working at the Rössing mine is linked to a higher risk of developing cancer. At least 76 cases were detected. These include 32 cases of lung cancer, 18 other airway cancers, eight cases of leukaemia, nine cases of brain cancer and nine cases of kidney cancer. The study warned that employees may breathe in radioactive dust and radon gas, which can escape from the rock. The study was completed in 2019.Rio Tinto has since sold its 68% stake in the mine to Chinese state-owned China National Uranium Corporation Limited for N$1,5 billion.The study identified 7 901 people who had worked at least one year at the mine between 1976 and 2010.

Give reaction on this incident.
In 2009, four former employees of the company brought individual suit against Eli Lilly for marketing its anti-psychotic drug Zyprexa for uses not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. All four employees individually discovered discrepancies and unethical doings in the company and hired attorneys to bring charges against the company. The company was marketing its drug for unapproved use against dementia in the elderly, generalized sleep disorders and more. The company admitted to these illegal practices and settled a $1.4 billion lawsuit with the government. The whistleblowers in this case shared in 18 percent or $78 million dollars of the federal government’s part of the civil settlement.

Case StudyCyber bullying is a unique form of bullying that continues in spite of the dire consequences that can and do occur. Cyberbullying has gained significant media attention and countless incidents of bullying continue to occur. Although may cases are reported in the news, probably as many if not more go unreported. Bullying has been defined as something that one repeatedly does or says to gain power over another person. Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying eliminates the need for physical contact with others in order to make them feel inferior. Cyberbullying is “when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones. Technology as an avenue for intimidation is a hot-button issue for school systems and parents alike. This is uncharted territory, and legislation does not always provide guidance and structure. The…

The manager of the Marketing Department in Hilton Group noted that in recent years, absenteeism has been steadily increasing, as has staff turnover. There have been instances of dysfunctional behavior such as the unauthorized sale of customer lists. Marketing Department employees who are directly involved with promotion campaigns are offered bonuses on the basis of the sales that are generated from their specific campaigns. This scheme has not been well-received by staff, since they feel that the sales generated from marketing campaigns are not a true measure of the value of the campaigns. They argue that the sales are dependent on many other factors outside the control of the Marketing Department and typically, bonuses payments are rarely paid to the Marketing employees. They feel that this is unfair, since many of the other departments receive regular bonuses. Marketing Department employees are also not satisfied with the opportunities for training and advancement, compared to other…

32. Hershey created a line of upscale chocolates called "Cacao Reserve by Hershey's." The company created fancy packaging, priced the
product at the high end, and did little mass marketing for its new product. Initial sales were disappointingly slow even though the
premium chocolate market is growing nicely, with brands like Ghirardelli faring well. As a consequence, Hershey almost immediately
(within six months) dropped its prices and started mass advertising. The product ultimately flopped and was discontinued. Using
concepts in this chapter, why do you think Hershey failed in its move into the premium chocolate market? Do you think the adjustments
were the most appropriate, or could Hershey have taken other steps?

Case Study:
A mother expecting her first child miscarried at home on June 22, 2010. The pregnancy was six months along. An ambulance was called at 4:57 a.m. The EMTs helped the mother to the stretcher and then went inside to retrieve the fetus from the bathroom floor. The baby was seen moving its head. The EMTs requested ALS to the scene. The baby was placed inside a small container. The ALS personnel visually assessed the fetus and stated the fetus was “non-viable”. There was never a fetal heart check in the field. Mother and fetus were transported to the hospital arriving at 5:16 a.m.
At the hospital, a nurse noticed that the fetus was warm and had a heartbeat. The baby was raced to the special care nursery and placed on a warmer. The staff then proceeded to resuscitate the baby. The baby was dusky and noted to have a heart rate of 30 with respirations of 6-8 at 5:40 a.m.,…

>AbstractEmil Vicale, president of BBC (BBC) Design Group, used rapid prototyping technology
to build wax or plastic three-dimensional prototypes of his clients' designs. But this same
technology can be used to custom manufacture dolls. Shortly after September 11, 2001,
Vicale Corporation, BBC's parent company, purchased an e-commerce toy company. Vicale's
first action figure was made to honor the heroes who emerged from that event. Using RPT,
he crafted a doll with the head of George W. Bush and the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
