This is the second part.

 

Part 2 Preparation

For the second part of the assessment, you will again use the two research articles from Assessment 1.

Contemporary published research articles seldom have looming ethical concerns; however, all researchers are solely responsible for their ethical conduct. This not only includes the ethical treatment of participants but also ethics in being truthful about all research procedures and reporting the findings. Reread your articles from Assessment 1, with special attention paid to the ethical concerns the researchers had to consider when carrying out the study.

Using the Capella University Library resources, find and read at least two articles regarding ethics in research.

Part 2 Directions

Complete the following in 5–7 pages:

1. Begin your paper with an introduction, Explain the purpose of the paper and its contents.
2. Start with a general discussion of important ethical concerns of conducting research using human participants.
   • Make sure to touch on the ethical treatment of participants and the importance of other ethical behavior required of researchers.
3. Using your research articles from Assessment 1, identify and analyze the ethical considerations the researchers would have had while planning, conducting, and presenting their research.
   • Note that you are not being asked to find ethical violations but, rather, identify the aspects of the research where the researchers would have had to exercise ethical behavior, such as in the sampling procedure.
   • Discuss what might have happened if the researchers had not been ethical.
4. Discuss ethical issues you encounter in your professional life and/or psychology specialization, and how those can be avoided or handled.
5. End your paper with a summary and conclusion.

Part 2 Additional Requirements

• As much as possible, the assessment should be written in your own words, paraphrased and properly cited in current APA style.
  • If you need to quote, do so sparingly, and make sure you have cited quotes in current APA style.
  • Your assignments need to demonstrate your understanding of the material, not how well you can quote someone else's work.
• Write in a professional tone without writing errors.
• Make sure your assessment is 5–7 double-spaced pages, not including the title page or references, with 1-inch margins. An abstract is not required.
• Include an APA style references section.
• Use APA style headings to organize your paper.

Must include:

Explain the ethical responsibilities researchers have to the public and to their discipline as it relates to human participants.

Explain the ethical responsibilities researchers have to maintain intellectual honesty and integrity.Describe the implications of the study if the researcher had not maintained ethical standards.
