How should researchers handle ethical dilemmas?

What should I do if I encounter an ethical dilemma in my research?

It's important to first identify the nature of the dilemma. Is it related to consent, data integrity, or potential harm?

I think it's about informed consent. Some participants are not fully understanding the risks.

In that case, you should consider revising your consent process. Ensure that information is clear and accessible.

What if they still don't understand after I explain it?

If participants still struggle to understand, it may be necessary to involve a third party or seek guidance from an ethics board.

Are there any resources I can refer to for more guidance?

Yes, many universities have ethics guidelines, and organizations like the American Psychological Association provide resources on ethical research practices.
