Audrey is completing her required undergraduate research project for her honors thesis in psychology. Her research involves surveying college students on their safe-sex practices.
 
  Before asking each student to complete the survey, Audrey tells them exactly what the survey is about and what they are expected to do. She then informs them that, while she would like to have them volunteer to participate, they are free to decline to participate with no negative or adverse consequences. In following this procedure, Audrey has met the moral principle of
 
 a. justice
   b. respect for people's rights and dignity
  c. nonmaleficience
  d. beneficience

Question 2

Mr. Marsh has a stack of information that he has gathered for his historical-comparative research study, and several ideas and theories are beginning to emerge.
 
  He notices that he has primary and secondary sources that clearly conflict with each other on one of the topics with which he has the most interest. Should he skip the topic altogether? What if he wants to pursue the topic, what should he do?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Mr. Marsh needs to evaluate his sources using external and internal criticism. If after evaluating the sources he still has conflicting information, he should look for additional information to collaborate the documents that he has. Perhaps there will not be a resolution. In this case, as an ethical researcher, he will ensure that both points are
represented in his final report.
