3 Key Ethical Pillars in Psychological Investigations

  1. Voluntary Involvement:
  2. Researchers must secure informed agreement from all study participants.
  3. Participants should feel no pressure, coercion, or intimidation to join in.
  4. This holds particular importance when interacting with students or inmates who might be reluctant to decline participation.

  5. Informed Agreement:

  6. Researchers must communicate true and thorough details regarding the study's motive, methods, prospective risks, and rewards to prospective participants.
  7. Agreement should be granted unrestrainedly, in writing, and recorded.
  8. In circumstances where concealment proves necessary due to the study's design, researchers must fully explain the study's purpose to participants afterward.

  9. Participant Confidentiality:

  10. Confidentiality is the cornerstone of ethical psychological research.
  11. Researchers must assure participants that their identities, specific responses, and identifying information will be kept secret and will not be shared with any third party outside the research team.
  12. Sensitive data should be securely stored and anonymized where feasible.
