psy5107 Week 7 - Assignment: Examine Relevant Ethical Issues in Research

This week, you will prepare a pamphlet for your assignment submission. Assume your pamphlet will be used by local researchers to help educate potential research subjects. Your materials will help these individuals decide whether they want to participate in future research studies, as ethical treatment and adherence to guidelines are important considerations.

As related to your topic or selected research area, first, briefly describe each of the five APA ethical principles and illustrate their importance when conducting research. Then, explore possible concerns or consideration to be mindful of when designing a research study with your specific topic or area of focus in mind. Select at least one relevant issue for each of the five ethical principles that could be a concern for your topic, and then document how you could avoid these ahead of time. What might you do to comply with these ethical principles and guidelines?

Provide a pamphlet with graphics and visual aids to help you illustrate these points.

Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, or the APA website, may be included.

Length: trifold pamphlet, not including title and reference pages 

Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University's Academic Integrity Policy.
