Based on author Joan Sieber's top-selling Planning Ethically Responsible Research, "Research Ethics" is the foundational textbook and resource that offers students and researchers a comprehensive guide for planning ethically responsible social and behavioral research. This indispensible text offers extensive guidelines in each chapter for satisfying federal regulations governing human research and for working with the university's Institutional Review Board (IRB). The book is organized to introduce nine basic ethical issues - Access and Recruitment, Privacy, Confidentiality, Deception and Placebo Use, Recognizing Elements of Risk, Benefit to Research Participants and Society, Risk/Benefit Assessment, Informed Consent, and On-Going Relationships - while presenting the distinct scenarios a researcher may encounter with specific methods or in special contexts.
