This means that there are certain things you can and cannot do to a human being just to get results for a test. There could be a ways around hurting someone to get results. One way around harming an actual human being for a statistic could be to come up with a system where an automatic response would be given to each single shock value. The experimenter could have been told that there was another human being on the other side receiving the shock, when in fact there wouldn’t be. So the experimenter could be lead to the thought that he/she had the power to harm another person but wouldn’t. A reason for an ethics board to approve a study like this one could be based on the fact that even though it may be unethical, the results produced outweigh the wrongness of it all.
In Milgram's experiment, test subjects were asked to do something that was, on the surface, unethical. Milgram was fascinated by the way people could be persuaded to cause harm to individuals if the instructions came from authoritative figures or those who would be considered credible. Although Milgram's experiment would not be conducted today for ethical reasons, the information derived from Milgram's experiment
From the way that I have interrupted that if the participates are forced into going through with the research it could have a very negative effect on the outcome and will cause data to be wrongfully interrupted. The informed consent is necessary for ethical research because it outlines what the researchers are doing and what is expected of the participates. It states what risks that are involved and they are able to back out at any time they wish if they are in fear or just do not want to help out anymore. After they are done with the study the participates need to be debriefed where if they are taking a medication that is being researched they are informed if they received the actual drug or a placebo, also at this time they are given an explanation of the study and the procedures that were involved. I will share with the class that I had my son involved in a drug study for ADHD about 9 years ago; it was for the patch that is offered now.
The more effective way to handle this in my opinion would be to ask Brigit to demonstrate how to complete the test and show her what she is doing incorrectly. I think Pamela should educate her and they could retest the students together. I understand it can be challenging to use assertive communication because it is a risk. The outcome can be unexpectedly negative. I think this might be why some people communicate passively because they have had a negative experience with this, and maybe it made things negative for them or changed things into a horrible situation.
The individual will not know that they have this disorder until their emotion state is put to the test. BPD individuals engage in self manipulating behaviors, suicide attempts and thoughts, they also show impulsive behavior, such as spending money, sex, and substance abuse. Supportive therapy may be the best approach when a person emotional stability is in question. Borderline personality disorder is a mental illness that needs to be closely and figured
I have to act in the person’s best interest but instead of encouraging them to avoid risks I have to support them and enable them to taking part in activities. I have to act in the individuals best interest, keep them safe, carry out risk assessments, promote informed choices but also respect their decision and right to live their life as they choose. If the risk seems great to me I would document it and discuss the matter with my manager. Another area where duty of care dilemmas may arise are confidentiality issues. When a confidential information is shared with me and it concerns safeguarding and there is a possibility of harm or someone’s wellbeing is threathened I might have to make a decision and disclose this information.
A study is also considered unethical if it causes any mental or physical harm to the participants. In this particular case a lot of mental harm was caused. To condition fear to an infant is traumatizing and as Watson had admitted himself, could last a
2a) Describe one way the researchers tried to ensure ethical guidelines were upheld One way in which the researchers tried to ensure ethical guidelines were upheld was by having two independent clinical psychologists monitoring the study throughout and had the right to see any participant or demand a participant be removed from the study at any time. 2b) Outline one reason why stress or psychological harm is an ethical concern in this study As the participants are put in an unusual artificial situation it was not possible to predict how each individual would react and how much stress they would undergo. As one of the ethical guidelines is protection from physical/emotional harm, this may have been broken if things in the prison got out of control i.e. some dominant prisoners such as Petkin or Edwards intimidating other people. 3) From Reicher and Haslams BBC prison study, describe the prison environment created for this study Prisoners were allocated to lockable 3-person cells.
Even though the consequences of such practices were often fatal and with prolonged effects to the subjects, knowledge was obtained through this type of research. Researchers who engage in such experimentation overlook the end importance of the research, which is to enhance human development. These methods of gaining knowledge, breach ethical conducts for the gain of the researchers. Promoting ethical preservation in this field and use of strict punishment to the violators of the ethics in research should be a priority. In the 1900, a small group of American doctors did unethical experiments on prisoners in the Philippines.
Unlike in a field experiment where the participants are completely unaware that they are being observed so it gives more of a natural response, this allows the researchers to gain results with greater validity. In a laboratory experiment, the researchers have to tell the percipients the reasons for the experiment to allow the percipients to give full consent this is due to the ethical reasons such as if the person doesn’t agree due to religion/beliefs, ethnicity ect. Where as, the percipients of a field experiment have to be unaware of the reasons for the research to allow a higher rate of natural answers. This means that field experiments are less ethically agreed with. An example of a laboratory experiment is Asch (a psychologist) who tested the rate of conformity within groups.
