Back 13

When researchers have questions about research ethics, they should seek advice from an IRB or colleagues and employ all possible safeguards to protect research subjects.

Front 14

Which of the following refers to obtaining permission from human subjects prior to their participation in psychological research?

Back 14

Informed consent refers to obtaining permission from human subjects prior to their participation in psychological research. The experimenter provides prospective subjects with complete information regarding potential risks and benefits, and their rights as subjects. Subjects who decide to participate then sign an informed consent document.

Front 15

When a panel determines whether the potential benefits of a study outweigh risks to subjects, they are performing a

Back 15

When a panel determines whether the potential benefits of a study outweigh risks to subjects, they are performing a risk/benefit analysis. Example: an IRB might decide that a proposed trial of a new stimulant drug places children at risk, but that the potential benefits in treating hyperactivity outweigh the chance of side effects.

Front 16

Which psychological problem is most likely to worsen during biofeedback training because of reduced environmental stimulation?

Back 16

Biofeedback-assisted relaxation training is most likely to worsen symptoms of depersonalization due to reduced environmental stimulation.
