Ethics are a fundamental concern of sociologists when they are conducting research. 7.) Was it ethical to do these experiments? If yes, which ones and why? If not, why not?

capacities, cultural effects and test score achievements as well as the past research supporting the theories. Using past referents and other accredited sources usually entails that the study will be taken literally by others in their field. Since they are trying to prove an important point, psychologist have to analyze previous research, explain previous research and then add on new information to the previous research. Direct quotes are therefore not recommended. Instead the psychologists…

reach solutions based on a new understanding of complex situations.
