Ethical considerations

Avoid research sites where participants may feel coerced to participate in the research. Honour the participants’ privacy. Consider difference in participants’ time commitment. Protect participants’ identities to avoid embarrassment or harm. Treat participants with respect and seek their cooperation in the research. Negotiate with the participants the terms of the agreement to do a study. Tell the truth when writing up and reporting the findings.

Codes of ethics have to be set by researches in order to protect participants and support ethical approaches to fieldwork. Bodgan and Biklen highlight the following basic ethical considerations:
