PSY 291 FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE EXAMS 1-3 FINAL EXAM Multiple Choice 1. The aim of the Tuskegee Study was to examine which disease? a. Syphilis b. HIV c. Tuberculosis d. Smallpox 2. Which of the following events did NOT occur in the Tuskegee Study? a. Researchers told participants they were receiving treatment even though they were not. b.

Participants were not given monetary payments for their time. d. Participants were from a disadvantaged social group. 4. In considering whether research is ethical, which of the following are balanced against each other? a. Inconvenience to participants versus benefit to the researcher b. Time investment of the study versus complexity of the study c. Importance of the research versus financial cost to conduct the study d. Risk to participants versus value of the knowledge gained 5. Which of the following is true of the Belmont Report? a. It was written at the request of the U.S. Congress. b. It was written primarily in response to the Milgram obedience studies. c. It was written primarily in response to medical experiments performed in Nazi-occupied Europe. d. It was replaced by the APA guidelines. 6. RESEARCH STUDY 4.1: Dr. Kushner is planning on conducting a study next semester. He is curious as to whether sleep deprivation is associated with poorer cognitive performance. For example, if you sleep poorly the night before a big exam, will you do worse? Dr. Kushner is especially curious about selective sleep deprivation, where people are kept from entering REM(rapid eye movement) sleep. Using an electroencephalograph (EEG) to monitor brain waves, he plans to let participants sleep until they enter REM sleep and then wake them. After the participants are awake for one minute, Dr. Kushner plans to let them return to sleep. As they enter REM sleep again, he will wake them again and follow the same procedure. He plans to do this through the entire eight-hour sleep session. The following morning, participants will be asked to take a sample SAT test. Dr. Kushner asks his participants to provide informed consent. Doing this is adhering to which principle of the Belmont Report? a. The principle of beneficence b. The principle of justice c. The principle of integrity d. The principle of respect for persons 7. RESEARCH STUDY 4.1: Dr. Kushner is planning on conducting a study next semester.

Imagine that Dr. Kushner is a clinical psychologist who volunteers his time at a local prison counseling several inmates. Because of his connections there, he is considering using prisoners as his participants. Why is this choice potentially problematic? a. According to the Belmont Report, prisoners are entitled to special protection. b. Prisoners do not make good participants since they may not tell the truth. c. Prisoners are unable to give informed consent. d. More prisoners may want to participate than Dr. Kushner can actually study. 8.

To address the Belmont principle of beneficence, Dr. Kushner would need to ask which of thefollowing questions? a. Are the people in my study going to benefit as much as the people who are not in my study? b. What can I do to decrease the potential harm experienced by my participants? c. Can the participants in my study give full, informed consent? d. Am I trained sufficiently to conduct this study? 9. RESEARCH STUDY 4.1: Dr. Kushner is planning on conducting a study next semester.

Dr. Kushner suspects that the people who will most benefit from his study are high school and college students, who are asked to perform cognitive functions in various states of sleep deprivation. Given this information, what type of participants should Dr. Kushner recruit for his study? a. People with a history of insomnia b. Employees from a local daycare center c. Students from a community college d. Patients from Dr. Kushner’s clinical psychology practice 10. RESEARCH STUDY 4.1: Dr. Kushner is planning on conducting a study next semester.
