Research Ethics and Integrity

About the lecture

In this lecture, we think about research ethics, focusing in particular on: (i) what is meant by ethics in psychological research; (ii) how a researcher’s moral responsibility to their participants’ wellbeing can be defined as a list of considerations that must be made when undertaking research; (iii) the difference between research ethics and research integrity; (iv) understanding the potential implications of research considered to be socially sensitive.
