Ethical Conduct Research

A review of the proposed participants of the study will ensure high-risk groups (if any) will be considered as per the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (‘National Statement’; NHMRC, 2007). While some of these high-risk

The benefits of the participation of this study for participants is to see if there can be a more

According to Schreck & Miller, 2010 the field of behavior analysis has been plagued with a rapid growth of fad treatments thus, subjecting individuals with autism to arrange of ineffective, pseudoscientific, and antiscientific treatments. In order to prevent these incidents from happening behavior analyst need to be able to make ethical decisions often before research is conducted or published. Ethical guidelines and codes have been developed to protect behavioral professionals and clients from using fads, unvalidated, and dangerous treatments (Schreck & Miller, 2010).

Based from this experiments, The Belmont Report Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research was submitted in April 18,1979 to …….? (“Impact,” n.d.).

Ethical standards also require that researchers should make sure when they are conducting any research on a participant, the participant is put into danger. As

According to the federal regulations, which of the following studies meets the definition of research with human subjects?

The first ethical principle stated by the Belmont Report is respect for persons. “Respect for persons incorporates at least two ethical convictions: first, that individuals should be treated as autonomous agents, and second, that persons with diminished autonomy are entitled to protection” (The Belmont Report). The researcher must respect the subjects decisions and be obliged to allow them to take part of the experiment voluntarily. The second

Historically speaking, the treatment of humans and animals has been poor in the name of research. Instances such as those occurring in Nuremburg and Tuskegee set forth a foundation for governance in research of human subjects. Respect of the individual’s autonomy and the beneficence must be demonstrated in the study.

Mills utilitarian ethics would justify that you should not cheat on a test. Mills theory is based on social rules that decide what is “right” or “wrong.” Meaning that society decides what is wrong and right, by capital punishment, public approval or disapproval. Based off of this we can see how Mills theory supports not cheating on at test because if you were to get caught cheating there would be a lot of public disapproval and you could even receive a very harsh punishment for example; you could get a zero on that test, you could even get kicked out of that class, or even worse it would be possible to get kicked out of the school, if you were taking a test like the BAR for lawyers you could lose your shot at ever becoming a lawyer. A lot of

Two ethical questions that immediately come to mind from the lecture are” protection of research participants from harm/Harm of research participants outweighs the good of the research” and “informed consent/ deception.”

Several ethical considerations should have taken place prior to the approval of the experiment. First, a thorough psychological

The most common and classical issues relate to human subjects, invasion of privacy, confidentiality of records and interviews, accessibility of data, and immunity from prosecutions (Wolfgang, 1981). Unethical methods in research can be traced back to World War II, when human subjects were tortured and killed in the name of research. In other studies, people were used as guinea pigs for drug testing, infected with diseases, exposed to cold temperatures and high altitudes (Higgins, 2009). The Nuremberg Code was the first set of standards to address the unethical research on human participants and provided provisions for their well being. The code states that (1) voluntary informed consent is essential without coercion, (2) expected outcome should justify the experiments, (3) experiment should be conducted by qualified scientists, (4), experiment should be conducted in a way that avoids all unnecessary physical and mental suffering or injury, and (5) there should be no expectation of death or disabling injury from the experiment (Schuster, 1997). The Nuremberg Code has served as a model for the United States federal regulations of informed consent of the research subject but also peer review of research protocols by a committee on the institution review board of the research institution (Schuster,
