Sunmeet Kour

Abstract :

Research contributes to the advancement of knowledge and ultimately, to the betterment of human beings, it is essential that human beings fully participate and cooperate with the researcher but not at the cost of human rights. Researchers on the other hand have a clear responsibility to ensure that they recognise and protect the rights and general well–being of their participants, regardless of the nature of their research. The ethical problems in behavioural researches particularly in the field of Psychology, Education and Sociology are a vital one. The researchers here conduct experiments mostly on human beings who may be embarrassed, frightened, or hurt by the nature of experiment. The present paper intends to examine ethical and legal issues in research that must be considered by the researcher while designing research that will utilize participants that are human beings.
