Prior general consent and or presumptive consent 9 of 27 When they have not given? fully informed consent 10 of 27 for example, Milgram got what? the consent of his pps to take part in a general study and he told them they might be misled about its aim 11 of 27 He also asked other 'reasonable people' what? whether they thought the study was acceptable 12 of 27 What did they say? yes so he went ahead (presumptive consent) 13 of 27 However, one could argue that these methods what? do not justify the lack of informed consent from the actual human pps involved in the research 14 of 27 particularly when? psychologists find it hard to estiamate the potential effects on pps before the study begins 15 of 27 what did Milgram predict? only 0-3% of pps would obey 16 of 27 Researchers also use what? ethical committees and guidelines 17 of 27 when what? designing their study to overcome potential ethical dilemmas and to measure potential costs and benefits 18 of 27 For example, what will Loftus have followed? ethical guidelines and reduced potential distress when viewing accidents by shortening her clips to under a minute 19 of 27 In addition both Milgram and Zimbardo had whatassessed? potenital costs by committees before the research began 20 of 27 However, the problem still remains thatwhat? reliable cost benefit analyses are flawed, as they are based on subjective judgements 21 of 27 What do ethical guidelines hold? very little weight in regards to punishment as they are not legally binding 22 of 27 What do researchers often use? debriefing to over come deception 23 of 27 What do they tell their pps the aim of? research after the study is over 24 of 27 for example, What did Milgram tell his pps? the shocks were fake and that he was studying obedience to obey authority when the research was finished 25 of 27 However what could one argue? that not doing this after the event does not justify the extreme levels of deceptions involved 26 of 27 Ins ome psychological research, as not knowing the true aim means what? pps can stil experience harm whilst taking part 27 of 27
