socially sensitive research is when studies create potential implications,for pp or the group being represented
Myers and diener,10% of people in Portugal reported they were happy compared to 40% of people in the Netherlands
Leads to people thinking negatively to those in Portugal and assume all people in Portugal are unhappy
Although its unethical,it creates greater good to society,people in Portugal may be unhappy and with research like this it can tackle problems not known otherwise
Myers and dieners research lacks validity,due to it being a western based approach
