Title: Understanding and Addressing Ethical Issues in Research: A Comprehensive Guide
Understanding the potential ethical issues associated with research is important before beginning any project. Additionally, it is important to check the research project periodically to ensure compliance and to adjust when opportunities arise. Some ethical issues that may arise including conducting research involving vulnerable populations, such as prisoners, children, the unsheltered, elderly, or even patients or the accused that you may deal with routinely. For example, if your research involves school truancy, you are not permitted to interview, survey, or observe children for your Capstone. Instead, you may survey parents, but children and other vulnerable poplations cannot be involved at any level.
If ethical considerations are not addressed in the beginning and before any research is conducted, including interviews, surveys, or field observations, the researcher (student), faculty, and college are subject to discipline, including legal action. However, students are permitted to review literature that may be used in the research; you just cannot conduct interviews, surveys, or observations. Typically, programs follow guidance in 45 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 46 and related subparts, along with ethical codes, some of which may be found on pp.95-96 of your text. Be sure to review these when you have a moment.
Outside of populations, other ethical considerations including accidental or intentional plagiarism (including copying and pasting even if you cite), use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), failure to cite sources, using work that does to belong to you, failure to ensure confidentiality, and obtaining permission from a site, participates, or a supervisor when involving peers. In reviewing the text, there are various considerations discussed on pp.93-101 that will help you avoid problems later. Once you identify potential ethical issues and roadblocks, then ensure they are addressed, you should not have any issues moving forward in your research. If opportunities are identified, your instructor will help you correct these during the Capstone.
Instructions
After reading the text and associated material, discuss why it is important to understand the potential ethical issues that may arise in a research project, including confidentiality.
Be sure to explain these in detail using the text and providing a minimum of five (5) examples.
Discuss roadblocks that may occur later if ethical issues are not considered in the beginning
Explain federal regulations associated with research.
Define members of vulnerable populations and then include details on why special permission is required before conducting research with this group.
Explain who must give permission.

“Visual Analysis of [Artist’s Name]’s Artwork: Exploring Medium, Category, Subject, and Elements of Art and Design” Exploring the Themes and Concepts in Art: An Analysis of Content and Cultural Context
Audio recording in PowerPoint. This way you can avoid showing your face, should that make you more comfortable. Make sure we can see your cursor pointing things out as you talk, or be super specific in describing what you’re referring to in the artwork as you speak.
There is a section for the “final exam” module on your home page with a critical document called “visual analysis guide”. This guide outlines all the terms we learned this semester and is organized by category. Please let me know if you have questions about the assignment, as it is a large portion of your final course grades.
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeArtist Bio
Please briefly introduce your selected artist. Tell us where they were born, where is their art studio (or if deceased where they spent the majority of their art career), if they’re currently working or deceased, and what motivates or inspires this artist.
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeThe Art Medium
What is the art medium this artist works in? What method do they use? What implement do they use? What surface materials? How do they work in their studio?
Now that we have completed a deeper dive on the major art mediums, you will be able to elaborate on their creative practice more deeply (how they physically work in their studio). Please tell us more about their creative process and what materials they are using to both apply the medium and/or the surface materials they use to apply the medium onto. For example, if the artist is a printmaker, you now will be able to identify and go into detail on what specific method they’re using – woodcut, wood engraving, lithography, etc. If they are using ink or paint, and if they’re applying the pigment to paper, canvas, wood, metal, etc. If you say “painting” and that is all, you will receive 1 point for this section.
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeThe Art Category
Is this Realism, Expressionism, Abstraction or Non-objective art? You must also explain why, simply mentioning the category is not enough depth at this point in the semester.
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeThe Subject
What is the subject of this artwork? Remember to keep this part simple and to save all interpretive components for the “Content/Concept” section.
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeThe Visual Elements of Art
Please refer to the handout on the home page entitled “Visual Analysis” for this section. You are required to touch on all major categories: line, shape, value, color, texture, and space. Time and Motion as well, should it apply to your artwork specifically. From this list, you must select 12 terms to discuss. For example, you cannot say “my artwork consists of lines.” It must be in depth, such as “my artwork includes actual lines here + here (show me or explain where) and because they are diagonal in nature they imply a sense of high energy, movement and chaos. This section will be graded as 1 point per term. If all you do is list the term and do not explain it or point it out in the work, you will receive 0 points for that term. If you skip any of the noted required categories, I will deduct 2 points per missed category. Additionally, if your chosen artwork medium is video art or cinema-related, and you do not discuss time and motion, I will deduct a total of 4 points because both will always be cornerstone those mediums.
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeThe Principles of Design
Please refer to the handout on the home page entitled “Visual Analysis” for this section. Everyone is required to address these major categories: Unity, Focal Point, Balance, and Composition. If any of the other categories are important to your chosen artwork, you must also address those, otherwise you will risk 2 points per missed category. You must address a minimum of 9 terms with explanations and descriptions of where you’re seeing the terms represented in the artwork. If all you do is list the term and do not explain it or point it out in the work, you will receive 0 points for that term. If you skip any of the noted required categories, I will deduct 2 points per missed category.
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeContent/Concept
What are the ideas being expressed? What is the intellectual interpretation?
What cultural concepts are being expressed? Feminism? Racial identity? Gender identity? Sexuality?
Are there historical references?
Is there symbolism or iconography?
For example, if you choose non-objective art, and you say this is about nothing. You will receive 0 points. All art is about something. -

The Ethics and Effectiveness of Mandated Treatment in Mental Health: A Case Study Analysis
Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, be certain to have read all the required resources for this week. The use of mandated, or legally coerced, treatment is widespread. Yet research demonstrating the efficacy of this type of treatment is limited, and mandating mental health treatment is one of the most contested issues in the field of psychology. To justify the continued use of mandated treatment, policymakers, practitioners, and researchers are obligated to demonstrate the effectiveness and limitations of such treatment programs.
You have been called in to consult on cases that may require mandated treatment. After reviewing the PSY699 The ethics of mandated treatment scenariosLinks to an external site., choose two to discuss in your initial post. Begin your research with the required resources for this week. Using the specific situations presented in each of the scenarios you have chosen, conduct further research to help inform your recommendations for each individual. A minimum of one resource per scenario, beyond those already required for the assignment, must be included in your initial post.
In your post, construct clear and concise arguments using evidence-based psychological concepts and theories to present your recommendations as to whether or not treatment should be mandated for the individuals in each of the scenarios. As you write your recommendations, be certain to provide insights into the following questions.
What are the ethical principles and implications raised by legally mandating clients into treatment?
What evidence exists regarding the effectiveness of treatment with and without coercion for this type of situation?
What would be the challenges in evaluating the effectiveness of mandated treatment?
How might mandated treatment impact your clinical decision making as the mental health professional assigned to these cases?
What client factors might limit or augment the potential benefits of treatment if it were mandated?
Integrating concepts from your research and the required readings, offer insights across different content domains as to why you have reached these conclusions. Explain how you used the APA Ethical Code of Conduct to guide your decisions. Evaluate the generalizability of your specific research findings to the situations presented and provide a rationale as to why this research supports your recommendations. -

-your formal report is almost complete. Remember to discuss at least one ethical dilemma (a choice between two options that may be both difficult and unpleasant choices) that may occur in your topic of research.
-Do not use decorative images as support for your research. (Words, pictures of people, computers, etc. do not provide any data or evidence for your topic. MLA guidelines strongly discourages this.)
Avoid .com websites to find research information. Review the requirements for sources .com websites sell services or products to people, so their data and information may be skewed unless they provide a credible citation to where they compiled
-will allow one .com website, but all others should be from academic- peer reviewed, .edu or .gov-type sources. You can use another .com if you exceed the number of sources required and the .com sources do not exceed 25-30% of the resources. If possible, locate the original source to cite. If you borrow an image written by an author, who found the image somewhere else and cites it, you need to make this clear by citing it as an indirect quotation (Qtd. in “author’s name). Here’s one of the links I shared with many of you in my feedback: https://libguides.sccsc.edu/MLA/images
