Below are the instructions for the paper: We continue to understand the value of ethics in research but this time, you will have the opportunity to assess all ethical considerations in your own research. This assignment requires that you take a close look at all areas related to properly conducting an ethical study: informed consent, confidentiality, anonymity, right to service, and the role of an Institutional Review Board (IRB) in granting permission to collect data. Use these guidelines to discuss the ethical considerations for your proposed study. Required Reading: Bhattacherjee, A. (2012).

Assignment: Write a 4 page paper, following APA guidelines, evaluating all ethical considerations relevant to your proposed research problem and overall study (The study is “The perceptions of Guardian liability of underage cyber aggressors from multiple stakeholders”). In your analysis, make sure you describe the specific steps you will follow to ensure: informed consent, confidentiality, anonymity and voluntary participation of the study’s participants. Keys to the Assignment: Evaluate all ethical considerations relevant to your proposed research study. Describe all steps you will follow to ensure informed consent, confidentiality, anonymity, and voluntary participation. Tips and Suggestions: Try to review at least three publications or articles that discuss the topic of “ethics in research”. Less than that will limit the content and credibility of your paper. Your assignment consists of three elements: historical overview, discussion on the meaning of vulnerable populations, and examining your role as an ethical researcher. Make sure all three are addressed in your paper. Use an outline to organize sections. You should have at least three sections in your paper (not including an Introduction or Conclusion).
