Highlights
This video is the second part of a discussion on ethical considerations in research, providing an actual sample of an ethical consideration section in a research paper. Viewers are encouraged to watch the first part for foundational knowledge on research ethics principles.
Referencing J.N. Palaskar (2018), three main objectives of research ethics are outlined: protecting human participants, examining research activities for ethical soundness (risk management, confidentiality, informed consent), and ensuring research serves the interests of individuals, groups, and society as a whole.
Ten key principles by Bryman and Bell (2007) are discussed: avoiding harm to participants, respecting dignity, obtaining full consent, protecting privacy, ensuring confidentiality of data, ensuring anonymity, avoiding deception, declaring affiliations and conflicts of interest, honest communication, and avoiding misleading information or biased data representation.
An actual sample of an 'Ethical Considerations' section from a research paper is presented. This section outlines how the researcher will apply Bryman and Bell's principles, including ensuring no harm, obtaining consent, protecting privacy, ensuring voluntary participation and right to withdraw, maintaining confidentiality, avoiding misleading information, ensuring objectivity, declaring conflicts of interest, and transparent communication.
