Ethical Issues Encountered in collecting qualitative data in psychology.
In this week’s Assignment you will analyze the main ethical issues encountered when collecting qualitative data in psychology. Consider all aspects of the researcher’s role, and ways in which ethics can be maintained to prevent this. There are two parts:
Part A
Consider the following in a 2-3 page essay outlining the ethical roles of a researcher:
Anonymity
Confidentiality
Informed consent
Relationship to the participants (bi-directional)
Support measures
Emotional distancing
Self-disclosure
Strategies to end relationship
Part B
Create a 1-2 page hypothetical qualitative scenario in psychology illustrating a potential conflict.
Consider the APA code of ethics (https://www.apa.org/ethics/code) and develop a potential safeguard to avoid a legal issue.
Design your hypothetical qualitative scenario so that collecting this data from participants will ensure the research is conducted in the most ethical way.
