Assignment
Warm-up Activity
Read the copy of The Belmont Report identified in Books & Resources. Pay special attention to the principle of justice in choosing research participants.
Task
For this assignment, prepare a 5-7 page paper that describes the three main ethical principles for research as outlined in The Belmont Report. Then, using the principle of justice, evaluate the research you have gathered so far to determine if subject selection followed this principle. Some aspects of this principle you will reflect on are included in the following questions:
• Does the subject selection sufficiently reflect diversity to make the results of the study generalizable to a general population?
• Were individuals chosen as participants who can expect to benefit from the study?
• In the case that a diverse group was chosen as the only participants, does this reflect a particular logic or reasoning from within the study, or does this reflect a convenience selection?
Be sure your paper addresses these and other issues.
Length: 5-7 pages. You do not need to include resources other than the ones identified in the assignment.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
