Ethical considerations
All research concerned with human participants needs to consider ethical issues. Universities and many other organizations have their own policy on ethics relating to research. Depending on what you are intending to do, where you are intending to do it and who will be involved in your study, there will be different regulation and standards concerning the ethic of you research. In your research proposal you must show that you understand the regulations you are bound by and that you have designed your study to conform to those regulations. Ethics in research will be discussed in detail in Chapter6.
