Describe how different points in the Nuremburg Code relate the degree of potential risk associated with the value of the results of an experiment.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

In the research by Sechrist and Sangor (2001) on prejudice, why did their use of a factorial design (with interactions) provide them with more information than a single variable would have?

Answer to Question 1

The Nuremburg Code stipulates that research must contribute to existing knowledge (Point 2); further, no research should be conducted if it will not produce results that are useful within a discipline (Point 3). If experimenters notice that a participant is at risk, they must terminate the research immediately (Point 10). Given that research has merit, any risks associated with it must be less than the potential gain from doing the study (Point 6).

Answer to Question 2

In their study, they identified two IVs: whether a person was high or low in prejudice and whether they thought people held the same attitudes that they did. The interaction effects were important here because they showed that people altered the distance they sat from a black confederate of the experimenter depending on whether they thought other people on their campus had similar views.
People high in prejudice sat closer to the confederate when they thought others on campus thought differently about race than they did compared to the case when they thought others were in agreement with them. People low in prejudice reversed this pattern, sitting farther from the black confederate when they thought people were generally in agreement with them. On whole, though, those low in prejudice sat closer than people higher in prejudice.

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.

Nearly all drugs pass into human breast milk. How often a drug is taken influences the amount of drug that will pass into the milk. Medications taken 30 to 60 minutes before breastfeeding are likely to be at peak blood levels when the baby is nursing.

Astigmatism is the most common vision problem. It may accompany nearsightedness or farsightedness. It is usually caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, but sometimes it is the result of an irregularly shaped lens. Either type can be corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome. This endocrine disease causes continued and abnormal growth of the bones, muscles, skin, and so on and can become completely debilitating with severe deformities occurring anywhere on the body.

People with alcoholism are at a much greater risk of malnutrition than are other people and usually exhibit low levels of most vitamins (especially folic acid). This is because alcohol often takes the place of 50% of their daily intake of calories, with little nutritional value contained in it.
