ethical research in the social sciences
Find the most interesting, bizarre, or blatant example of a violation of
good ethical conduct in research in the social sciences. Explain the
experiment. What theories, ideas, behaviors, or phenomena were being
analyzed? What were the attributes of the population that the
researchers chose to use for their experiments? What did they do to the
population over the course of the experiments? After you have
explained the experiment and its procedure, then provide an argument
that displays why this research methodology was unethical. Remember to
support your arguments with factual evidence and logical reasoning.
Note:
Do not overlap cases with other students. Each case presented should
be unique. You cannot receive full credit for a post that overlaps with
another student if that student posted before you. If someone posts
your desired example before you do, please find another case.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your
claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly
resources, and properly cite any references.
