Ap Psychology Chapter 2 Summary

1304 Words | 6 Pages

Critics have claimed that the results from an animal cannot generalize over to people, and while this can be true, assumptions about human behavior based on animal research takes into consideration data from descriptive as well as experimental studies with people. The second objection to animal research is that it has no practical value as the research only provides facts that are only useful to a theoretician. While this might sometimes be the case the findings from animal research have been able to be put to good use in topics such as child rearing, sports, and education. Lastly, many critics are quick to say that animal research is unethical as people have no more right to experiment on animals as animals have to experiment on people. While there are ethical concerns that should be taken seriously these concerns beg the question of if it is unethical to use animals in research what about eating them, what about forcing them to be our pets or what about using animals on

Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment

837 Words | 4 Pages

The National Research Act was passed in 1974, declaring that any federally funded and proposed experiments involving human subjects must be approved by an Institutional Review Board for Human Participants, better known as IRBs (Heintzelman). Furthermore, the “Belmont Report: Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research” was created in 1979 by the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research (“About the USPHS Syphilis Study”). It defined fundamental principles and ethics when a research experiment was held, making sure that future participants of clinical trials would be protected by laws. Some principles included giving subjects the right to be informed of the procedures and also the ability to leave the experiment if they found no improvement in their condition. As the government rebuilt trust with the public, more studies — this time with grounded laws to safeguard subjects — began to pop up across the States, all beginning with a first stage of informed, voluntary

Pros And Cons Of Poopty Training

298 Words | 2 Pages

About 90% of children in the US are potty trained by the time they reach age 3 (Boyse, 2010). Also, girls take a shorter time to be potty trained, on average, than boys due. Girls usually take around 29 months and boys around 31 months (Boyse, 2010). The reason for this is unknown at the moment, but many think it has to do with the fact that boys have to go through a two step process; stand to urinate and sit to defecate. Other cultures like China, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America use a different form of potty training, elimination communication.

Sieber And Tolich Chapter 2 Summary

786 Words | 4 Pages

In Chapter 2, Sieber and Tolich (2012) shed the light on how ethics should be managed during the research process, in particular, the chapter touches upon such important ethical elements as vulnerability, potential risks, and benefits of a research. In my critical response, I would particularly discuss the issue of potential risks and benefits in research raised by the authors, and reflect on my personal experience. As Sieber and Tolich (2012) define, “risk is a probabilistic statement about a possible harm that may occur” (p. 20), and it consists of two elements which are: the degree of harm, and the degree of its probability to happen (p. 20). When evaluating the potential risks, it is important to bear in mind the fact that both these elements

The Pros And Cons Of Medical Research Experiment

922 Words | 4 Pages

Medical Research has the potential to advance society and make life better for everyone in it. However, the ends cannot justify the means; the rights of the subjects of research cannot be violated no matter the possible benefit to mankind. Despite this, time and time again, it has been very easy for, at least allegedly well-meaning scientists to violate the rights of their research subjects because they wanted to help society as a whole. Such experiments were not performed in secret by a minority of scientists; they were often done “by respected investigators at leading medical institutions and were published in medical journals (Scandals and Tragedies 3). " It is vital that we understand the circumstances of these experiments and why they happened so
