Ethics
Slide 2: Overview
1. Ethics and research design.
2. Stances on ethics.
3. Ethical principles (participants and audience).
4. Three examples.
5. Publication ethics.
6. Ethics approval and procedures at the University of Glasgow.
Slide 3: Ethics and R/S Design
Research design “deals with a logical problem and not a logistical problem.” (Yin
1989, cited in De Vaus 2001).
Ethics touches upon both.
Ethics is also covered in workshops of the Researcher Development Programme
(RDP). This is open to PG students.

Slide 4: Stance on Ethics (Bryman, 2008)
Universalism.
Ethical transgression is pervasive.
Anything goes.
Deontological ethics.
Consequentialist ethics.
Slide 5: Universalism and Situation Ethics
Universalism:
Ethical principles should never be broken.
Situation ethics or principled relativism:
Unless there is some breaking of ethical rules, we would never know about certain
social phenomena.
Therefore, decide on a case-by-case basis.
Slide 6: Ethical transgression is pervasive
All research involves some breach of ethical principles.
Example: Asking a survey question about income and another one on education but
not telling the participants that the goal is to look at whether the participants’
education has a causal effect on income and how this will be framed in the final
article.
Therefore, ethical violations are relative and decision making needs to be flexible.
Slide 7: Anything Goes
The kinds of deception in which social researchers engage are trivial compared to
those perpetrated by powerful institutions in modern society (mass media, the
police, and industry).
Therefore, social researchers are entitled to study anyone in any setting.
