Student Subjects in Research
Highlights
Students represent a vulnerable population within faculty-led research at universities because of the incentivized extra credit option
My general chemistry professor offered authorship promises to students who could travel to Mexico and bring back samples of alcohol served at resorts for his study, which aimed to analyze the chemical content of resort alcohol
These dual roles are especially risky in a study when a student participant must divulge personal information, which is accessible to the professor
Summary
There is undoubtedly valuable research that seeks to study student populations exclusively, resulting in data relevant to student populations . Critics may contend that research involving student subjects rarely poses major risks that call beneficence into question. One may argue that research participation can be a helpful, behind-the-scenes learning experience for students to experience how to conduct research. Some studies and research designs involving students provide tangible benefits to students. Studies that supplement current course material would provide valuable insight into key concepts and, be acceptable
