Ethical Considerations Of Semi-Structured Interviews

Improved Essays
Hi, Andre.

Thank-you for taking the time to read my post and pose a really valuable perspective for me as I move forward in the research process. I want you to know that your question was the impetus for me to read ahead to the week 9 'feature article' and really take some time to think about what you asked and where I was previously coming from (which is why it has taken me a little bit of time to respond).

    According to Bachman & Schutt (2014): Research should expose participants to no more than minimal risk of personal harm, researchers should fully disclose the purposes of their research, participation in research should be voluntary, and therefore subjects must give their informed consent to participate in the research, and confidentiality must be maintained for individual research participants unless it is voluntarily and explicitly waived. (p. 60) Although Dr. Coswalt protects the research participants from no more than a minimal risk of personal harm, the research scenario still violates three of these principles. Dr. Coswalt has failed to fully disclose the purpose of her research to the participants and their guardians. Dr. Coswalt and the participating schools mistakenly believed that the students and guardians should not be informed of the study, so that students would not change their behavior, a term known as the “Hawthorne effect” (Bachman & Schutt, 2014, p. 192).…

    Jeffrey, I enjoyed reading your post and understanding your point of view on the topic. Evaluators deal with ethical conflicts that most social scientists and other researchers seldom experience while conducting research (Posavac,2011). I agree that informed consent and confidentiality are very important are interdependent and necessary, one for the effective functioning of the other. Ethical research is imperative for numerous reasons and has driven organizations and agencies to develop and adopt ethical principles to protect patient volunteers, staff and to preserve the integrity of the science, program and research. There are many ways harm can be done to those who are participating in the program and the staff.…
