After completing my panel in October I have been working through completing the ethics forms for my PhD study. Originally it was seen to have a low risk level. However, from my panel feedback and discussions with colleagues in the department it appears that from the wording on the ethics form my study is actually medium.The primary reason for this?<\/p>\n
My participants may feel strong emotion whilst being a participant!<\/p>\n
Yes, this is true of every participant. Yes, it is unavoidable. However, the potential for stronger emotions is definitely present within my study. From this stumbling block I could have become frustrated with this process due to terminology on a piece of paper. However, it has actually helped me thoroughly analyse and consider my participants view point. It has also enabled me to assess the analysis component of my study well before gaining the data.<\/p>\n
In this way I would recommend spending substantial time considering, tweaking, and reflecting on ethical considerations. The use of a form and ticking boxes makes the process seem paper driven, but if you consider the context and implications for your participants the process of reflecting on their role becomes much easier to consider.<\/p>\n
Ultimately I would argue that to tick boxes without ethical consideration or reflection to be a dangerous sport. It may be presented as a paper exercise but in practice it represents how you will deal with peoples future cognitive and emotional reasoning within your subject area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
