A master's student knows next to nothing about Maslow's theory related to hierarchy of needs but, on her advisor's recommendation, decides to use it as a theoretical framework for her thesis
The student goes to the library and accesses an old master's thesis that also uses the theory and copies three pages, word for word. She uses the other student's reference to Maslow's work. This is an example of which of the following?
a. Nonmaleficence
b. Fabrication
c. Falsification
d. Plagiarism
ANS: D
Plagiarism is the appropriation of another person's ideas, processes, results, or words without giving appropriate credit, including those obtained through confidential review of others' research proposals and manuscripts. Fabrication in research is the making up of results and recording or reporting them. Falsification of research is manipulating research materials, equipment, or processes, or changing or omitting data or results such that the research is not accurately represented in the research record. The principle of beneficence requires the researcher to do good and "above all, do no harm."
