Research ethics


Working with Staffordshire University we developed this course for academics, researchers such as psychologists, social scientists, even game developers. It’s for anyone carrying out research – on humans, animals, even human tissue – that could have an impact on the users.

The course helps learners to answer the questions “Does your project need an ethical policy?” and “How do you build an ethical policy?”

Real-life scenarios and imagined scenarios will assist learners to consider the ramifications of their research, including a checklist of priorities which include:

  • An academic case study involving falsified on climate change
  • A psychological case study about the famous Milgram Experiment that asks the question: why do people follow authority?
  • A data confidentiality case study about stolen Sony Playstation data


The course takes the view that social experiments can cause undue stress to participants. The outcome, in certain circumstances, of publishing data can be catastrophic resulting in bad PR, employees losing their jobs, or being banned from publishing in academic journals.
