How might a researcher go about obtaining active or passive consent for studies conducted on the Internet?
What will be an ideal response?
When using an e-mail survey, the researcher can obtain active consent by including a statement to be checked off that indicates the subject has read the terms and conditions for the study. In the case of Web surveys in which a participant can be invited to a Web site to complete the survey, the researcher can provide a description of the study. The act of the subject going to the site and completing the survey can serve as passive consent. When electronic interviews are conducted using private chat rooms and an interview is conducted in real time, a researcher can send informed consent documents to the participant's e-mail address or the agreement to take part in the interview can be obtained at the beginning of the interview.
