Working
with human subjects can be tricky business, but luckily for us, you
will not be poking or prodding any of your research subjects (so there
should be minimal risk to those you plan to interview, survey, or
experiment with).
With that said, it is still critical that you disclose information to the human subjects you are working with. Universities have developed an Internal Review Board (IRB) system to make sure researchers comply with local, state, and federal ethics standards. As students who are in a first-year writing course, you do not have to complete IRB training to work with human subjects, but it is critically important that you disclose your intentions in writing to the people you are working with.
Please review the following information provided by the Rochester Institute of Technology:
https://www.rit.edu/research/hsro/basic_elements_consent_form (Links to an external site.)
You are tasked with developing an informed consent disclosure form to give to any participants you are studying. The site above gives plenty of information about what should appear in your disclosure form. Participants should sign the form and return it to you. You should provide each participant with an additional copy if said participant wants it for his/her records.
If your research involves textual analysis and you are not working with human subjects, please write a detailed outline about how your textual analysis will work.
I recommend you create your disclosure form as a word document and then paste it into the text box of this blog space.

For my primary research, I will execute a meta-analysis. I will consider the benefits and disadvantages, positive and negative consequences of psychedelics in studies that utilized the drugs in treating issues such as alcoholism and addiction. Then, I will delve into psychedelics use in therapy and then follow up in how these effects last with long term use. Finally, I will examine how the extremity of the impact psychedelics have in spirituality and mystical experiences.
ReplyDeleteI posted this on webcourses first. I got confused where we had to put it.
ReplyDeleteI conducted an observation in order to discover why consumers fall for scams. I observed about 30 people which were 10 young adults (16-20 years old), 10 adults (30-50 years), and 10 older people 60 years and older) at Kohls because they are consumers who purchase items and service which may allow them to be exposed by scams. My participants were chosen based on if they were willing to take part in my experiment or not. I conducted a quick survey then my experiment that would ask participants about their sociodemographic factors in order to see how to those factors contribute to consumer vulnerability. I asked the question “Do you talk to people or are you alone often? ” because it allows me to discover the consumers socialization level which indicates how vulnerable they are to scams. Also I asked “How old are you?” because it allowed me to discover their age which correlates with their cognitive ability that allows consumers to combat scams and fraud. The next step is to attempt to scam the participant by using a card trick. This card trick would test their cognitive ability which is used when fighting scams and fraud. Fake monopoly money is on the line and if I scam them then I get the money and if don’t scam them then I get nothing. By conducting this survey and observation, I wanted to find out if and how cognitive and socialization abilities influence consumers into falling into scams and fraud.
Informed Consent Form
DeleteProcedure
I will first conduct a quick individual survey on specific factors like age, earning, socialization, and etc. Then I will perform a mock scam experiment on my participants in the control groups. I would prefer to have three specific age groups which would be a young group (16-20 years old), an adult group (30-50 years), and an elderly group (60 years and older). My experiment will be a card trick with fake money on the line. If I successfully scam the participant I get their fake money and if I don’t scam them successful I don’t get the fake money. I take about three minutes on each participant.
Risks
There aren’t any risks. I am going to use fake money that you will and if I am successful with the scam you will lose the fake money. The only potential risk is embarrassment if you get scammed.
Security
I will give you a number. I will test the mock scam on you to see if it works. I will put that number on a list to see who fell for the scam and who didn’t.
This study is voluntary and you don’t have to take it if you don’t want to. If you want to stop at any time you may.
