Issues related to
socially sensitive
research
- Social sensitive research is research that has
negative implications for the participants
and/or for the group they represent,
beyond the study itself. There are areas of
research that affect people in more serious
ways than others.
- Although socially sensitive research can give
findings that are a threat to others and
upsetting, it is research that should be done.
This is because such research is likely to relate
to people that are seen as having low status
in a society. The issue is making sure that such
research is handled carefully.

- Socially sensitive research is likely to attract
attention of the media and general public, this
must be taken into account when planning and
carrying out a study.
- Ethics for treating participants focus a lot on
doing no harm and maintaining
confidentiality. Researchers have a duty of
care and if a young person reveals
something during a study that suggests they
or someone else might come to harm, the
researcher has to breach confidentiality. The
researcher may have to make a judgement
about the likely harm and the wish to
maintain confidentiality and privacy.
- Siber and Stanly 1988 – issue of the context of the research that is carried out. If the institution
has power over the participants, they may be affected by any fallout.
- Interpretation and application of research
findings. Research findings and how they are
used can go beyond what the researcher
intended. Findings in psychology are used in
society and that use is often in a socially
sensitive area, which researchers must take
into account as far as they can.
- McCosker et al 2001 thought that
socially sensitive research is
important and should be carried out
but there must be safeguards, such
as careful interviewing and having
counsellors on hand to recognise
stress in participants and possibly to
stop the interview.

- Looking for explanations of anorexia nervosa Crisafulli
et al 2008 – people judged the illness differently if they
read about a biological or genetic cause or if they read
about a sociocultural explanation. People who read the
biological or genetic explanation tended to blame
people with the illness less than if they read that social
and cultural reasons caused the illness.
- Studying the brains of murderers: Raine
et al 1997 The brains were found to
differ from the controls and this can be
taken to mean there is no responsibility
for the violent actions, which would then
not have been planned and deliberate
perhaps. There are consequences for the
participants and for the wider
population. These are not necessarily
negative consequences because if
someone’s biology is to blame perhaps
they will be treated better by society.
- Research into prejudice and personality It was
found that people with a right-wing
authoritarian personality trait are more
prejudiced, as Chors et al 2012 suggested, then
people might turn against those with that
personality or the behaviour that personality
relates to. Alternatively, prejudice can turn into
in-group or out-groups. Guimond et al 2013
found multicultural approaches to other cultures
in a country led to less prejudice than countries
using an assimilation approach might be
criticised or ostracised by societies that wish to
reduce prejudice.
- Diagnosis of mental disorders Treatment follows
diagnosis, so if the diagnosis is wrong, treatment
will be wrong as well. If someone is diagnosed
incorrectly and if diagnosis leads to labelling, that
can cause someone a lot of difficulties. Rosenhan
found that people who had basic symptoms of
schizophrenia were quickly diagnosed and put on
medicine. His research was socially sensitive
because as it showed that the staff in a mental
hospital did not recognise good mental health in
the patients. The study had important
implications for such hospitals.

- Rosenhan 1973 showed that hospitals
labelled people mentally unwell and
did not recognise good mental health in
people once they were labelled or
diagnosed as having a mental disorder.
- Raine et al 1997 found the people
pleading not guilty by reason of insanity
to murder had brain differences
compared to a control group. There are
social implications in the findings of the
study, which were taken to mean that
people are not to blame for any violence
because their brain structure and
functioning are the cause.
- Guimond et al 2013 found that multiculturalism
led to less prejudice than assimilation, which is a
socially sensitive result because it might put
pressure on countries using an assimilation
approach to change to a multicultural one.
