Document Summary
Research ethics board (reb) - must approve of a study before it can even begin. Most research in canada must follow the guidelines in the tcps2. Subjects must give free, ongoing consent to participate. Informed about study, its risks and its bene ts. Participants must be able to ask questions. Sometimes, consent is given verbally (in ethnographic cases), rather than in a signed document. Reactive effects - how people behave when they know they are being observed. Due to this, experiments generally have some deception. Subjects should be debriefed asap on the deception that occurred in the experiment. Only those that are able to make an informed decision about participation should be asked to be subjects. Random response technique - one group always answers yes to a question, the other answer truthfully. 50% + extra = (the apx percentile) - (50%) x2. 50% say yes (cause they have to), the other 50% of subjects answer truthfully.
