[Get Solution] Psychological Research
This is a two part assignment and I will want to have the same writer for both assignments. The second part will be in approximately 3 weeks. Attached you will find an amended version of the actual IRB application that researchers must submit to the IRB in advance of conducting psychological research. You will read the published information carefully and then you will take the knowledge gleaned from the readings to complete the IRB application AS IF you were the Principal Investigator applying for approval to conduct the study. For some of the questions included on the application, you may need to “stretch” your knowledge a bit. For example, the published information may say that college students were given extra credit for participation, but may not go into a lot of detail regarding the process used to recruit those students. In such a situation, you may need to use your imagination to fill in some blanks. In addition, please remember that the goal here is to put yourself in the Principal Investigator’s shoes at the time that he/she conducted the experiment. If the experiment was conducted in the 1970’s, for example, remember that the standards for human experimentation were different back then. Answer the questions as the investigator WOULD have answered them (based upon what you read about the experiment), not as they SHOULD have answered them based upon today’s ethical standards. The experiment chosen for this paper is: The Effects of Provocation and Fear of Death on Aggression found on pages 429-430 in the Principles of Social Psychology. The following questions will need to be answered after the Mock IRB Application has been completed. A. What was the most challenging section of the Mock IRB Application to complete? Why was it challenging? B. Were there any sections of the Mock IRB Application that you felt the authors of your article did not adequately address (wither in terms of not doing ir or not addressing it in their write-up of their Method/Procedure)? C. If you were actually the Principal Investigator of this study, what might you do differently in order to adequately address all the questions asked on Part 1 of this Mock IRB Application? D. How do you think ethical standards have changed (if at all) since the Principal Investigator of your chosen study filled out his/her own IRB Application?
