Ethics in Research Ethics are important in all research on both humans and animals. When something is considered ethical, it means that it is considered morally right. Many hypotheses cannot be tested experimentally because they are unethical or immoral.

Human Research http://www.gwumc.edu/research/images/intro_human.jpg : source

Human Research Research involving human subjects must follow these guidelines: Informed consent: participants must know that they are involved in research and be told about any potential risks. Coercion: participation must be voluntary. No one can be forced to participate and participants can withdraw at any time from the study.

Anonymity/Confidentiality: Participants’ privacy must be protected Anonymity/Confidentiality: Participants’ privacy must be protected. The researcher must never reveal their identities. Risk: Participants cannot be placed in any significant mental or physical risk. Debriefing: Participants must be told the purpose of the study and provided with ways to contact the researchers about the study results.

Animal Research “Quit school? Quit school! http://www.psyking.net/75ae0530.gif :source “Quit school? Quit school! You wanna end up like your father? A career lab rat?”

Animal Research Research involving animals must follow these guidelines: Clear scientific purpose: The research must answer a specific, important scientific question. Animals are chosen because they are best-suited. Humane treatment: The animals used in the research must be cared for and housed in a humane way.

Legal possession of animals: The animals used in research must be purchased from legal companies. If wild animals are used they must be trapped in a humane manner. Minimum suffering: The experimental procedures must be designed to use the least amount of suffering possible.

Why use animals in research? Biological and behavioural similarities between animals and humans therefore we can learn things that apply to humans Lifespan of most animals is shorter than that of humans, We can study genetic effects over generations much faster in animals than with humans More control over experiments with animals than with humans
