potentially negative consequences for society

Cards (4)

  • 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
