1. Beverly really wants to go to graduate school in psychology and has the grades to get in, but she knows that she needs to have some research experience. She therefore begins working with Dr. Miserendino on a project in which she is observing white rats and measuring the amount of time it takes them to learn to navigate through a maze, depending on whether the animal has been given a drug or a placebo. Beverly is supposed to collect data every day for six days in a row (Monday through Saturday) to see what happens as the drug gradually wears off. She collects the data Monday through Friday, but on Saturday she isn’t able to go to the campus, because of a family emergency. She knows from talking to Dr. Miserendino about the study that it is too expensive to repeat the study, because both the rats themselves and the drugs are very costly. She also knows that if she tells Dr. Miserendino that she missed a day of data collection, Dr. Miserendino will be really upset. She considers making up the data just for Saturday, based on the data she had collected for the rest of the week. She knows that Dr. Miserendino would never have to find out what happened.
   Reflection Questions:
   Assuming that Dr. Miserendino never does find out about the made-up data, what are some possible negative ethical consequences of Beverly’s decision to falsify the data?
   1. Why is it risky for Beverly to make up the data?

A statewide evaluation of the Education Now and Babies Later (ENABL) program was conducted to assess its ability to increase adolescents’ knowledge and beliefs about pregnancy prevention. Using a quasi-experimental research methodology, middle school students were divided by homerooms into a treatment group (n=900) who got the ENABLE program and a comparison group (n=700) who got nothing beyond classroom activities as usual (CAU). Participants in both in ENABL and CAU homerooms completed a pretest and posttest reflecting knowledge and beliefs about pregnancy (PSI: Postponing Sexual Involvement); the higher the PSI score, the more accurate the pregnancy knowledge. Participation was anonymous and student ID numbers were used to match pretest and posttest. Statistical tests reveal significant differences on posttest scores between ENABL and CAU groups and the ENABL group showed marked improvement from pretest and posttest scores, whereas the CAU group did not.
