Dr. Alucard conducted a study to examine various aspects of the sexual behaviors of college students. The students filled out a questionnaire in a classroom on the campus; about 50 students were tested at a time. The questionnaire asked about prior experience with various sexual practices. If a student had experience, a number of other detailed questions were asked.
However, if the student did not have any prior experience, he or she skipped the detailed questions and simply went on to answer another general question about a sexual experience. What ethical issues arise when conducting research such as this? Do you detect any specific problems that might arise because of the "skip" procedure used in this study?
Scenario
a. Researchers conducted a study on a college campus examining the physical at-tractiveness level among peer groups by taking pictures of students on campus and then asking students at another col¬lege to rate the attractive¬ness levels of each student in the photos.
b. A group of researchers plan to measure differ¬ences in depth percep¬tion accuracy with and without perceptual cues. In one condition partici¬pants could use both eyes and in another condition one eye was covered with an eye patch.
c. Researchers conducted an anonymous survey on attitudes toward gun con-trol among shoppers at a local mall.
d. College students watched a 10-minute video re¬cording of either a male or female newscaster presenting the same news content. While the video played, an eye movement recording device tracked the amount of time the students were viewing the video.
