Among the ethical costs in this research study include the costs of maintaining the confidentiality of the participants and at the same time the costs of shouldering the disclosure consequences. Some of the consequences of the identities being disclosed include ridicule and in some cases threats (Sugarman, 2015).
The research study also took sufficient time especially in training the participants of their roles in the research and their expected behavior. The participants can decide to give false information thus leading to wrong data collected at the end of the research session. The review process of the participants and the questionnaires to ascertain the accuracy of their response is also time consuming. The other ethical costs include the costs incurred in compliance to the law like the review process for lawyers to ensure that all the laws are complied …show more content…
If the study was conducted in New Zealand then the following ethical considerations had to be complied with. There should be a board that should monitor the research from the preliminary stage s like accepting the proposal and making some reviews in case it is not to standards (Jensen 2015). The research being a concern of the general public should be done by a reference group that is able to be held responsible in case of any issues that are raised by the public. Before the publication of the psychological research findings, the board must be given the draft to make any improvements. After much scrutiny with regards to compliance with the research ethics, the findings are allowed to be published for the general population to be informed (Jensen 2015).
