Yo,
Here are the 4 ethical principles, with their definitions (I thought these might be important... best you have them in your notes):
Responsibility - this principle is about taking care of the ppt; avoiding harming the ppt, ensuring other researchers are being ethical, and monitoring the physical and mental health of each ppt.
Integrity - the researcher must be honest and accurate in all their dealings with others. There must be clear boundaries between the researcher and participants, and researchers must look out for and act upon any dishonest conduct.
Competence - this is about the researcher, and their ability to carry out research. They must be able and, if necessary, have the correct qualifications to carry out the research they have planned. If they are in doubt of their ability or become unable to carry on further they must make this known.
Respect - this means the researcher must be willing to explain the ethics of any study, respect the dignity of others (i.e. age, sex, culture), keep ppts anonymous (guideline - confidentiality), and privacy (ensuring ppt's data is only shared with people that should have it).
I would recommend adding these to the notes you have on the ethical guidelines.
KOP!
