Review the Code of Ethics outlined by The American Sociological Association and then in a short essay, explain whether or not breaching experiments are ethical.
What will be an ideal response?
•?The ASA code of ethics is somewhat contradictory as it outlines how sociologists should get informed consent from participants when data are collected from “research participants through any form of communication, interaction, or intervention,” which would make any breeching experiment unethical; yet the code also outlines exceptions when (1) “the research involves no more than minimal risk for research participants, and (2) the research could not practicably be carried out were informed consent to be required,” so long as the study occurs in public places.
