Ms. Jimenez is working toward her Ph.D. in Sociology ata prestigious research-oriented university. One of the professors(Dr. Smith) in the Department approached her with an opportunity towork with him on a research project and offered to make her aco-author. Below are questions addressing some ethical issues thatmight arise during the project. Please select the ethically correctanswer in each case.
Since Dr. Smith was pleased with how Ms. Jimenez carried out theliterature review for the study, he asked her if she would monitorthe data collection process. Specifically, Dr. Smith told her thathe wanted a sample size of at least 500 respondents for this studyand that she was supposed to inform him of their progress duringthe data collection process. Ms. Jimenez noticed that they werestill five surveys short, even after all of the standard practicesshe followed with regard to increasing their response rate. Knowinghow important this research was to Dr. Smith and that a journalpublication would be good for her own future career as well, shedecided to complete five of the surveys herself so that they couldreach their goal. Is Ms. Jimenez acting in an ethical manner inthis case?
Yes, because the surveys she completed only constituted 1% ofthe 500 surveys and would not really affect the study.
Yes, because she tried everything possible to reach the targetof 500 respondents in order to meet the goal set by Dr. Smith.
No, because even though she only completed a small number ofsurveys herself, the data is misleading in that it didn’t come fromthe study population as claimed in the paper.
None of the above.
