Carefully study chapter 2 of your text.
Identify at least 2 ethical violations in the following scenario.
Explain each of the violations you find.
How would your redesign this study to correct for these ethical violations for the violations you find?
Mark decided that participants in this study will not be at risk, and therefore, he didn't bother the IRB with his proposal. His study investigates the amount of discomfort people are willing to put up with in order to earn a large sum of money. He recruits students by posting ads about a "contest in which you can earn $1000." Everyone who shows up is told that they must do whatever he tells them to do for the next several hours and that the last person to comply will earn the money. He then makes the participants eat disgusting food combinations, rub permanent markers on their own faces, and mail insulting messages to their professors. After two hours he stops the "contest," informs everyone that it was actually an experiment, and explains that there is no prize money. Before participants leave, he gets them to sign an informed consent form to acknowledge that they "were free to leave at any time.”

Research Question
I will be investigating the effects of racism on educational development in teenagers.
From this topic, I developed the following research questions.
1. How does racial discrimination affect the interest to attend school in teenagers?
2. Does racial discrimination have any significant effect on the cognitive ability of a teenager?
3. Is racial discrimination from teachers and people in authority have differing impacts on
teenage education compared to discrimination from peers?
4. What race is mainly affected by racial discrimination in school?
5. Is there any relationship between racial discrimination experienced and performance in
school?
Identifying Ethical Violations
Traditionally, there were no guidelines to conducting research, especially with human
participants. This resulted to many loss of lives and unethical conduct. For example, HattemerApostel (2017), report that Japanese doctors conducted experiments on war prisoners which
involved bacteria inoculation and dismemberment. Such experiments resulted to deaths of very
many prisoners either directly or indirectly. Moreover, slaves in the US were also used for
experiments which disregarded their dignity. The Tuskegee syphilis study is also another
example of how the US public health service studied the effects of syphilis on humans using
human participants without their consent leading to detrimental health issues to the participants
of the study. There was thus a need to develop some guidelines to conduct such experiments.
