Researchers must ethically collect data by ensuring informed consent and justifying the purpose of their study. It is important to respect participants' time and privacy, especially when seeking sensitive information, and to minimize potential harm. Incentives can be ethically offered as appreciation but should not influence participation unduly.

Collecting Information

- Researchers must reflect on the ethicality of requesting


others’ time and personal information.
- Asking questions can cause anxiety or pressure, which
may be unethical unless the study’s purpose is clearly
justified.
- If the research is likely to benefit society and is conducted
respectfully with informed consent, data collection is
acceptable.
- Researchers must evaluate the relevance and usefulness
of their study to avoid wasting participants’ time.

Seeking Informed
Consent
Purpose statement
It is unethical to collect data without participants’
knowledge and agreement.

Informed consent requires:


• Clear explanation of what data will be collected and why.
• Explanation of how the information will be used and how
it may affect the participant.
• Assurance that participation is voluntary and free from
pressure.
According to Schinke and Gilchrist (1993),
informed consent must meet three
criteria:
Competency to give
consent (e.g., not
Voluntariness and
suitable for children, Sufficient
absence of coercion.
those with cognitive information for a
impairments, reasoned decision.
language barriers, or
emotional distress).
Providing Incentives

The ethics of incentives are debated :

• Offering a small gift after participation is


considered a token of appreciation and not
unethical.
• Offering inducements before data collection
may unduly influence participants and is
considered unethical by some.
Seeking Sensitive Information

Questions on personal topics (e.g., sex, income, health)


can feel intrusive or violate privacy.

Such questions are not inherently unethical if:


• Participants are clearly informed about the nature of
the questions in advance.
• They are given time to decide whether to respond.
• No undue pressure or inducement is involved.
Possibility of Harm
Harm is not limited to physical risks but includes
emotional distress, anxiety, or violation of
dignity and privacy.
Researchers must:
• Assess and minimize risk to participants.
• Ensure that any discomfort does not exceed
what is typically experienced in daily life.
• Take preventative measures if harm is
anticipated.
