ethics

• Informed consent in research involves considering issues such as parental consent, the right to withdraw, confidentiality, protection from harm, deception, and debriefing after the experiment.
• Ethical issues occur when there is a conflict between the researchers' wants and the participants' rights within the research.
• Milgram's study did not allow for a right to withdraw and used deception, claiming it was a memory test.
• Informed consent in Milgram's study was an issue as participants were not aware of the study.
• Three participants in Milgram's study had a seizure, highlighting the need for protection from harm in research.
• The British psychology society holds a code of ethics that ensures all participants are treated fairly.
• An ethics committee can approve research.
• Cost-benefit analysis is a type of consent.
• Presumptive consent is a type of consent where one person's consent is assumed to represent the consent of others.
• Prior general consent is a type of consent where a participant gives their consent to multiple studies.
• Retrospective consent is a type of consent where a participant is asked to give consent in debrief.
