Standing in the shower late one night Dr Vincent thought of

Standing in the shower late one night, Dr. Vincent thought of a revolutionary new experiment that would change the face of all Psychology. The next morning at 8 a.m., he located some subjects and began conducting the study.cern (1) STATE the single most obvious ethical problem or uncertainty in the study. (2) EXPLAIN specifically what about the study raises the ethical concern. And (3) STATE What should be done differently in the study to reduce or eliminate your con.

Solution

1. The most ethical problem in these kind of study is that whether the sample would be representative of the population.

2. Since the study involves subject only at a particular, the sample collected would not be representative of the population. The sample observed at a particular time would represent only a particular section of population. This will lead to biasness in the sample.

3. To eliminate this concern, the study should be carried out uniformly rather than at a particular time.
