Question 2

Sieber (2009) reported that a group of student researchers was told by their Institutional Review Board that they needed to inform homeless participants that they did not have to answer questions if they were uncomfortable with the questions.

The student researchers objected to this restriction because they believed that
a. the students thought that the homeless people would not take the research seriously because they wouldn't answer any questions they didn't want to anyway.
b. the data from the research would not be valid if people did not have to answer the questions.
c. other researchers had already asked similar questions without causing any problems with the participants.
d. giving the homeless participants less information would let them complete the research in a fast, but sensitive, manner.
