Daniel is a junior psychologist in a prestigious research institute. Daniel studies the effects of sleep deprivation on rats. On
e of the researchers at the institute uses primates to study bonding between family members. Daniel notices that the primates are stored directly in the lab, rather than in the approved animal holding area. Although no animals are being harmed by this action, Daniel knows it is in violation of the laws governing animal research. Daniel also realizes that if the oversight is discovered, then the university may lose its ability to do research with animals and he may lose his job. Select the option in which Daniel acts unethically. A. Daniel makes a phone call to report the violation to the government. B. Daniel speaks directly to the supervising researcher on the project. C. Daniel reports the violation to his direct research supervisor. D. Daniel minds his own business and continues his own research.
For Daniel to act unethically he would mind his own business and continue his own research. The other three options are all ethical and would be the right thing to do in this situation. The unethical decision would be the one that goes against the moral codes of doing research and being a psychologist/scientist. All research must stick to an ethical code of conduct for the safety of the participants and the experimenters, in addition for the institution involved to keep good practice.
