A researcher wants to understand resiliency in children after they experience failure. Although the researcher did not obtain approval from the Institutional Review Board, she did obtain signatures of parents/guardians on informed consent forms. The children in the study do not know it, but the researcher programmed the computer software so that the students will not be able to complete the science problem they are given in their virtual online science laboratory. The researcher is most interested in seeing which children become frustrated to the point of crying or giving up prior to solving the problem. What is our major concern with this research study?
a. The researcher collected informed consent forms from the parents and guardians, but not the children.
b. The researcher may cause harm to the children, who may become frustrated and ultimately distrustful of adults. The researcher is using deceptive practices in her research design.
c. The research design actually discriminates against children from lower income families. They have less experience with technology such as the virtual online science laboratory.
d. The research design ultimately examines intelligence. The more intelligent children will recognize the impossibility of the task and stop trying. Children with lower intelligence will keep trying.
Question 2
Mr. Langley is a fourth-grade teacher, who is completing a graduate degree in educational policy studies. To meet the requirements for one of his graduate courses, Mr. Langley needs to complete a research project. He decides to measure reading comprehension using the students in his own class as research participants. He asks parents for their permission to allow him to test the reading comprehension of his students outside the regular school day. He has obtained permission from the Institutional Review Board. The IRB approved his request to offer incentives to the parents who allow their children to participate in his study only if:
a. the incentive is given to the parents before the study begins.
b. the incentive is given to the parents after the study has concluded and the data have been analyzed.
c. the incentive or thank you gift is consistent with what the parents or children would expect in their own lives.
d. all children in the study are also provided an incentive or gift for their participation.
