answer -Respect for persons
Humphreys' collecting data for the Tearoom Trade study while posing as a
lookout is an example of a violation of the principle of respect for persons.
Respect for persons requires that subjects freely choose to participate in
research (voluntariness) and that they are adequately informed about a study
(informed consent). The principle of beneficence requires balancing the risk
of harms with the potential benefits. The principle of justice requires that
benefits and burdens are equitably distributed and subject populations are
not chosen due to convenience.
The researcher's failure to protect research subjects from deductive
disclosure of identity (that is, the re-identification of subjects by other
researchers) is the primary ethical violation in which of the following studies?
correct answer -"Tastes, Ties, and Time (T3)" study
Although no students were identified by name in the T3 study, some data
were specific enough to allow for re-identification of students by an outside
researcher. This is an example of the failure to protect subjects from
deductive disclosure of their identities. The primary ethical problems of the
other studies include physical harms and unanticipated psychological harm.
According to the Belmont Report, the requirement that the benefits and
burdens of the research are equitably distributed, expresses the principle of:

subjects freely choose to participate in research (voluntariness) and that they
are adequately informed about a study (informed consent).
