Review the instructions for accessing the IRB Application via IRBNet as a resource to address field requirements.

Assignment

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper that describes the potentially important ethical considerations of beneficence, autonomy, and justice for a study (either a study you used for a previous assignment in this course or your proposed dissertation study).

Review the instructions for accessing the IRB Application via IRBNet as a resource to address field requirements. Use the point of view of an IRB reviewer, and discuss the ethical dynamics of decisions you have made, even if they are not yet final decisions, related to the:

Choice and definition of the case
Choice of theoretical framework
Choice of types and sources of evidence
Choice of questions to ask or details to observe
Choice of data collection techniques and schedules
Choice of data analysis methods
Choice of methods to maximize trustworthiness
Choice of methods to safeguard anonymity and confidentiality and to minimize any negative effects of your investigation

Consider the implications in each of these areas for the case as a whole, for individual members of the case, for the field of inquiry, and for the eventual audience.
