Ethical Question:<\/strong>  Is it ethical to do a study where the results might be trivial?<\/div>\n
Mr. Quallaby is a well-known businessman in the area. He has a lot of money and has in the past donated some of it to the university. Mr. Quallaby can be eccentric at times and has requested that the Psychology Department run a study looking into the relationship between someone’s head size and their intelligence level. He talks to the administration of the university, and says that he would be willing to make a sizeable donation to the school if Dr. McCafferty, in the Psychology Department,  would do this research study in a group of local elementary schools. Mr. Quallaby is willing to make the donation regardless of how the study turns out; however, he is convinced Dr. McCafferty will find a positive relationship between head size and intelligence level. <\/div>\n
Reflection Questions:<\/div>\n

  1. What are some of the ethical arguments Dr. McCafferty should have <\/span>in favor<\/span> <\/span>of conducting the experiment? <\/li>\n
  2. What are some of the ethical arguments Dr. McCafferty should have <\/span>against<\/span> <\/span>conducting the experiment?<\/li>\n
  3. Put yourself in Dr. McCafferty’s shoes. What would you do? Explain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
