  1. As part of their class requirements, the students in Dr. Taylor’s Research Design and Analysis class are sent over to Trumbull Mall to observe interactions between mothers and their toddler-aged children. They are told not to interact with the moms at all, but just record certain behaviors, like the number of times they speak harshly to their children and the number of times the children whine or cry.

One of the mothers notices that the students are watching people and complains to mall security. The manager of the mall asks the students where they are from, then writes a letter of complaint to Dr. Taylor. Here is an excerpt:

”I am requesting that you do not engage in any more observational research at Trumbull Mall. I don’t think it is right to allow students to observe people’s behavior without getting their permission first. It is a violation of privacy and is wrong even if they don’t realize they are being watched. People come to the mall to shop, not to be watched.”

Reflection Questions:

  1. What are some good reasons for the manager’s concerns? Explain.
  2. What are some good reasons why the students should be able to do this type of research? Explain.
  3. If you were in Dr. Taylor’s position, how would you handle the situation?

Thinking Like A Scientist
One of the most difficult parts of being a scientist is knowing how to use information so it does not harm others. Consider these cases:
A. A pregnant woman and her husband both have achondroplastic dwarfism, a dominant condition that affects appearance (very short stature, large head) but not intellect. They want genetic analysis of the fetus; they plan to abort if the child would be of normal height.
B. A 40-year-old woman is tested and is told that she has the BRCA1 gene. That means she has about an 80% chance of developing breast cancer and is at high risk for ovarian and colon cancer. She does not believe these results and wants no one to tell her mother, her four sisters, or her three daughters, some of whom may be I the early stages of cancer.
C. A 30-year-old mother of two daughters (no sons) is a carrier for hemophilia. She requests in vitro fertilization (IVF) and pre-implantation analysis so that only male zygotes without the hemophilia-carrying X chromosome will be implanted. Female zygotes, all healthy but half of them carriers, would be destroyed as would the hemophiliac half of her male zygotes.
D. A couple has a child with cystic fibrosis. They want to know if they both carry the recessive gene, in which case they will have no more children, or if the child’s illness was the result of a spontaneous genetic change, as my happen at conception. The test results make it apparent to the counselor that the couple will not have a child with cystic fibrosis, because the husband is not the child’s biological father.
Answer the following questions in your Blog:
1. Should test results be kept confidential from other family members who are directly affected (as in examples B and D)?
2. Should a client be given information that will lead to a decision that the counselor believes is unethical (as in examples A and C)?
3. What would you do? (Note: The answers to the first two questions can/may be different from the third).
