Abstract: The pursuit of knowledge through social scientific research requires consideration of the many ways to protect the human dignity of study participants. This chapter reviews issues inherent in conducting ethical research, both generally and specifically with regard to experimental studies. To the extent that researchers remain mindful of these ethical concerns, they are more prepared to navigate the (federal) regulations pertaining to the protection of the rights and welfare of research subjects. The chapter concludes with suggestions on how to successfully meet the demands of institutional review boards, which oversee these regulations.
