PSY 370 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Social Desirability Bias, Neuroticism, Extraversion And Introversion
Document Summary
Privacy/confidentiality: people have basic legal right to choose what they share about themselves and who they share it with, confidentiality = info should not be shared with someone other than the client without the client"s permission. See previous notes with more about this topic. Applies to all testing situations, not just research: before they take the test, test takers must be told: Who will have access to the information: this information needs to be presented in a way that is understandable to the test- taker, amount of detail varies by purpose of the test. One example of when this might vary is when measuring something like social desirability amount . If it"s something that would affect the participants" willingness to take that test, that is something that should be disclosed. Knowing and understanding results: test-takers have a right to know the results of the test. Honestly not just telling test-takers what they want to hear.
