Everyday Ethics

At the YRN launch conference there seemed to be a lot of issues and potential debate generated by the area of ethics and reserach. As a result we have decided to try and kick start traffic on this blog site by posting a regular ethical question. Dr Darren has come up with this one for you to get started:

Q1.  What have been the ethical dilemmas you have experienced doing research? For instance, you forgot to change the respondent’s name in a written report, you’ve lost interview tapes, you discussed interviews with friends and family, or maybe you filled-in your own questionnaires and past them off as someone else.  Let us know your ethical dilemmas and how you overcame them.
