    - working with children

when is deception acceptable?

  • if it doesn’t result in long-term harm

  • if it can be justified for research purposes

  • phenomena in psychology would not be
    able to be researched if deception was not allowed

  • as people would guess at the nature of the experiment

  • thus influencing results

ambiguity of acceptability of deception in a study

  • the main ethical consideration to be made is: how much stress will the deception cause?

  • participants of Milgram’s obedience studies reported high levels of stress

  • because they believed they were giving real electric shocks to the learners

  • however, Milgram’s participants later thanked him for allowing them to participate in the study

  • furthermore, if they were told from the beginning that the electric shocks were not real (in the interest of full transparency), it would not have had the same effect

when is working with children acceptable?

  • parents’ consent required

  • researchers must be sensitive to the needs of children

  • the Bandura (1965) Bobo Doll experiments were criticized not for their violence but for the role models

  • the role models made aggressive statements that were not usual for children to witness

  • however, Wells-Wilbon and Holland’s 2001 study on the influence of positive role models on African American children was praised

  • as the approach they took was deliberately designed for dealing with children
