The researcher's failure to protect research subjects from deductive disclosure of identity (that is, the
re-identification of subjects by other researchers) is the primary ethical violation in which of the
following studies? - ANSWER-"Tastes, Ties, and Time (T3)" study
Although no students were identified by name in the T3 study, some data were specific enough to
allow for re-identification of students by an outside researcher. This is an example of the failure to
protect subjects from deductive disclosure of their identities. The primary ethical problems of the
other studies include physical harms and unanticipated psychological harm.
A study was submitted to the IRB designed to evaluate the effect of background noise on an
individual's ability to concentrate and answer questions. The IRB approved the study and consent
form. The consent form includes all the required information. The use of a consent form is an
example of the Belmont principle of: - ANSWER-The principle of respect for persons requires that
subjects understand that participation is voluntary and that they are provided detailed information
about the study before giving consent to participate. The principle of beneficence requires that risks
are reasonable in relationship to anticipated benefits. The principle of justice requires that the
benefits and burdens of research are equitably distributed and subject populations are not chosen
because of convenience.
A researcher submits a study to the IRB that proposes to evaluate a new after-school on-line tutoring
program for middle-school students in a local school district examining the effect on student grades.
She proposes to perform this assessment at the school that her children attend, because she is
familiar with the school district. Students may use either their personal smartphone or computer to
participate in the program. This study might be determined to be violating which principle of the
Belmont Report? - ANSWER-This proposal would violate the principle of justice which requires that
the benefits and burdens of research are equitably distributed and subject populations are not
chosen because of convenience. Choosing a single school that her children attend might be viewed
as providing a subject population of convenience. Evaluating the program in multiple schools across a
school district could avoid this problem.
If the schools in the district have wide variations in household income, this study might eliminate
students from less affluent families without access to internet service and electronic tools, failing to
ensure that benefits and burdens of research are equitably distributed.
, According to the federal regulations, which of the following studies meets the definition of research
with human subjects? - ANSWER-A cognitive psychologist enrolls undergraduate students for a
computer-based study about the effect of mood on problem-solving behaviors.
A cognitive scientist studying the effect of moods on problem-solving behaviors is asking a research
question and is interacting with living individuals. Questioning a superintendent of schools to acquire
data about the ethnic composition of a school system is asking "about what" questions rather than
"about whom" questions (if a study proposed interviewing the superintendent of public schools
about his or her experience in the field of education or about his or her perceptions about the
current problems within the school system and possible solutions, the questions would become
"about whom"). Analyses of public behavior such as writing for a blog or a newspaper do not meet
the definition because there is no interaction or intervention with a human subject and no collection
of private information. Finally, in the class exercise described, the intention is pedagogical (to learn
how to conduct and interview) rather than to answer a research question.
According to the Belmont Report, the requirement that the benefits and burdens of the research are
equitably distributed, expresses the principle of: - ANSWER-According to the Belmont Report, the
requirement that the benefits and burdens of the research are equitably distributed, expresses the
principle of justice. The principle of beneficence requires minimizing the risk of harms and
maximizing the potential benefits. Respect for persons requires that subjects freely choose to
participate in research (voluntariness) and that they are adequately informed about a study
(informed consent).
The Belmont principle of beneficence requires that: - ANSWER-Risks to subjects are reasonable in
relation to anticipated benefits.
The Belmont principle of beneficence requires that risks to subjects are reasonable in relation to
anticipated benefits, if any, to subjects, and the importance of the knowledge that may reasonably
be expected to result. This principle is applicable in both minimal risk and greater than minimal risk
research. The principle does not address a requirement for significant contribution to generalizable
knowledge nor does it require that subjects derive individual benefit from study participation.
A graduate student needs to conduct a research project for her master's thesis. She is interested in
the types of junk food available to the public. She plans to go to the local convenience stores and ask
the owners what types of junk food the store normally stocks, and which are the biggest sellers. She
will not collect identifiers. This study would be subject to which type of review? - ANSWER-This study
would qualify as not human subjects because the data that the student is collecting does not meet
the definition of human subjects research. She is not collecting any information about the store
owners and her study seeks to find information about the items in the store.
