The document discusses key concepts in research ethics including informed consent, minimizing harm, protecting privacy, and avoiding deception. It provides definitions and examples of ethical issues and frameworks for analyzing ethical dilemmas. The Stanford Prison Experiment is discussed as a case study that raised scientific and ethical challenges around informed consent, potential harm to participants, lack of controls, and examiner bias.

Editor's Notes
- Not actually included in Federal statute language Duke, 1999. Last year 1 in TX, 1 in CA?
- IRBs not too keen on oral consent. In “he said, she said” if person feels harm, persecution, or coercion, you’ll be in trouble.
- Capacity: need to consider both. What about 17 yr old HS senior? Get parents ’ as well as his/hers Informed consent is also important in treatment, not just research. A person should be given full information when weighing the potential options for treatment. This applies to medication, education, IEPs, etc. Consent can always be withdrawn—it is never permanent Example from U IRB is on WebCT
- Dangerous-inducing heart attacks, injecting with Plutonium, withholding Syphilis treatment. Psych harm—little Albert, gender identity studies.
- Necessary: avoid Hawthorne effect, compensatory rivalry, other threats to internal & external validity Dehoaxing. Think of an example? Candid Camera! Desensitization can be done orally too, but is more systematic.
- Poor Cyril Burt. Not only misrepresented estimates & results, completely fabricated data, had a fictitious research assistant (for years)—who was getting paid off of a grant (no one ’s sure what happened to the $) Scientific Sins Unethical standards—tough to judge old studies by today ’s standards if the standards of their time were different. Milgram, Zimbardo. Some research was unethical (or questionable) at time it was done. WWII Germany in concentration camps. Tuskeegee. Injection of Plutonium into people.
- Trouble for Plagiarizing yourself? Not as plagiarizing, but as presenting as multiple works, when there is much overlap.
- What is your reaction to this study? Do you think ethical practices were violated? How?
