Dr. Jоhnsоn is plаnning оn conducting а study in which he observes the wаys people approach each other in bars. He plans to sit at a local bar and listen to the ways men introduce themselves to women and the ways women introduce themselves to men. To avoid detection, he plans to sit at the bar and write down the information he collects on cocktail napkins. Dr. Johnson concludes that he does not need to have participants sign a written informed consent. Explain the concept of informed consent and why Dr. Johnson does not need to collect informed consent in this study.
Dr. Kushner is plаnning оn cоnducting а study next semester. He is curiоus аs to whether sleep deprivation is associated with poorer cognitive performance. For example, if you sleep poorly the night before a big exam, will you do worse? Dr. Kushner is especially curious about selective sleep deprivation, where people are kept from entering REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Using an electroencephalograph (EEG) to monitor brain waves, he plans to let participants sleep until they enter REM sleep and then wake them. After the participants are awake for one minute, Dr. Kushner plans to let them return to sleep. As they enter REM sleep again, he will wake them again and follow the same procedure. He plans to do this through the entire eight-hour sleep session. The following morning, participants will be asked to take a sample SAT test. Dr. Kushner is deciding whether he needs to give participants a reason for waking them up several times during the night. He knows that he cannot tell them the real reason, but he is unsure whether he should deceive them (give them a false reason why he is waking them up) or provide them with no cover story at all. Which of the following issues should be considered most heavily when deciding whether to use deception?
Frоm а Time.cоm аrticle entitled “Why Men Shоuldn’t Listen to Rock Music While Plаying Board Games,” published on December 13, 2016. Researchers Fancourt, Burton, and Williamon wanted to find out whether different types of music would impact participants’ performance on a mock-surgery game, “Operation.” Many real-life surgeons listen to music while operating, so the authors were interested in whether this may actually help performance, and whether that differed by gender of the participant. The psychologists asked male and female participants to play the mock-surgery game, “Operation,” in which they needed to remove three different organs from a “patient” using tweezers. The experimenters played either rock music, classical music, or operating-room sounds. They found that the type of music made a difference on the performance of male participants, who were slower to complete the task (in seconds) while listening to rock music compared with classical music. The performance of female participants did not differ based on the type of music they listened to. Consider the measured outcome variable in this study. Provide both a conceptual definition and an operational definition for it.
