Complete the following ACTIVITY Research Ethics by Allyson J. Weseley, EdD Roslyn High School, Roslyn Heights, NY All research involves ethical considerations. Such concerns do not mean that the research is unethical but rather that the researcher must do whatever she or he can to minimize ethical risks. Institutional review boards (IRBs) look over research proposals to safeguard participants and researchers. There are few hard-and-fast rules about what is and is not acceptable. IRBs generally engage in a kind of cost–benefit analysis. Common ethical concerns include: 1. Informed consent • People should not be forced to be into research. • People have the right to withdraw from the research at any time with no penalty. • There should be informed consent. If deception is involved, there should be a debriefing. • To consent, people must be told something about the purpose of the research. 2. Anonymity/confidentiality
