How does the majority of psychological research disadvantage marginalised groups eg people with disabilities?
Attempts to be generalisable meaning often excludes marginalised groups or misrepresents them, our understanding of human behaviour has been lessened by psychologists’ failure to study all groups
7 of 10
However, some have argued that carrying out socially sensitive research on marginalised groups may actually benefit them; how?
Has been argued studies of underrepresented groups and issues may promote a greater sensitivity and understanding of these groups
8 of 10
Should socially sensitive research just be avoided?
Some might argue that we should avoid socially sensitive research, however, psychologists would have nothing interesting to study+is not a responsible approach to science
9 of 10
What other questions should researchers be asked when considering ethical issues?
Only considering ethical needs doesn’t consider other ways the research may inflict harm on a wider group of people, researchers should be asked to consider how their research might be used by others
