Social scientists are unprepared for many of the ethical problems
that arise in their research, and for criticisms of their ethics
that seem to ignore such cherished scientific values as objectivity
and freedom of inquiry. Yet, they possess method ological talent
and insight into human nature that can be used to understand and
resolve these problems. The contributors to this book demonstrate
that criticism of the ethics of social research can stimulate
constructive development of meth odology. Both volumes of The
Ethics of Social Research were written for and by social scientists
to show how ethical dilemmas arise in the day-to-day conduct of
social research and how they can be resolved. The topics discussed
in the companion volume include ethical problems that arise in
experiments and sample surveys; this book deals with the ethical
issues involved in fieldwork and in the regulation and publication
of research. With candor and humor, many of the contributors
describe lessons they have learned about themselves, their methods,
and their research participants. Collectively, they illustrate that
both humanists and determinists are likely to encounter ethical
dilemmas in their research, albeit different ones, and that a
blending of deterministic and humanistic approaches may be needed
to solve these dilemmas. The aim of this book is to assist
investigators in preparing to meet some of the ethical problems
that await the unwary. It offers perspectives, values, and
guidelines for anticipating problems and devising solutions."
