You're welcome!

Thank you for this informative short presentation. Could you please tell what's your take on doing a literature review, but intentionally ignoring a previous study which is so important and so relevant for the research? Do you consider this morally unacceptable and why? I would be grateful if you suggest me some studies which have been done on this topic.

[@HelenKaraWriter]

The point of a literature review is to review the literature. So deliberately leaving something out would be unethical, because you would be giving a false impression, i.e. that you had reviewed the literature when in fact you had not. I do not know of any studies on this topic but you may be able to find some online.

Hi, could u just ask, If a researcher is concerned about whether an experimental group will be susceptible to more risks when participating in a study than a control group, which ethical principle is the researcher concerned with? Is it the principle of beneficence or that of Justice?

[@HelenKaraWriter]

Hi Aaron and thanks for your comment. Those are not the only two possible principles that could apply; for example, ethics of care is another. Any ethical principle could be the researcher's main concern in this situation, depending on the researcher's own ethical stance, the context of the research, and perhaps other factors such as the ethical preferences of the research funder. So while your question is straightforward, the answer is not. I suspect you would have preferred a straightforward answer, and I'm sorry I can't supply one, but I hope this is some help.

Hi Helen, I need some Information on ethical issues found in psychological theories. Eg problems within ethical approaches. Where can I find some information please!

[@HelenKaraWriter]

Hi Kia, you can find information via Google Scholar, or the Directory of Open Access Journals, or specialist online resources such as the PRO-RES resources here prores-project.eu/resources/ (this is quite recent, it collates a lot of resources together in one website). You may have to do quite a bit of searching/hunting to find exactly what you need. Good luck!
