Abstract
|
|
|
This article aims at inquiring ethical issues required for reviewing Social Behavioral Research(SBR) to establish stably Institutional Review Boards(IRB) instituted within universities based on the entirely revised Bioethics and Safety Act.
Unlike the existing review criteria of IRB focusing invasive researches, SBR necessitates more careful approach in three aspects: ‘interests of participants’, ‘interpersonal relationships between researcher and participants’, and ‘social values of SBR’. In addition, ‘privacy and confidentiality’ and ‘informed consent and deception’ can be critically considered for assessing risk and benefit analysis on SBR.
Accordingly, this article seeks reviewing such characteristics of SBR and ethical issues within important components required for conducting a research. In particular, the article addresses ethical issues including ‘public exposure of participant’, ‘reduced control over self-presentation of participant’, and ‘reduction of participant’s private space’ with regard to task to ensure ‘privacy and confidentiality’ and examines those of ‘impaired capacity for decision-making’, ‘deprivation of respect’, and ‘erosion of trust’.
Besides, the article examines how these ethical issues have revealed through the case of Laud Humphreys’ Study, a typical example of SBR, and makes suggestions for alternatives to those issues.
