Researchers must be aware of three key areas when conducting psychological research: ethics, socially sensitive research, and ethnocentrism. All research must follow ethical guidelines; however, there may be reasons for breaching those guidelines. Viewers will explore how to address research justification and the use of knowledge and interpretation of findings in a socially sensitive research proposal. They will also note how to be aware of social construction and possible ethnocentric biases.
Sarah Brosnan, a psychologist and neuroscientist at Georgia State, has released a study helping to prove that primates share similar feelings of inequity as humans, and she will extend the research with a five year National Science Foundation grant. In the next round of research Brosnan will work with Bart Wilson at Chapman University to do similar hands-on and computer game-like experiments on both humans and primates. The idea is to better understand how economic decision making strategies evolved and which if any are uniquely human.
