But that rule doesn't stand once you want to publicly disseminate the information in the form of a journal article.
The only exception I know of is with public observation of children where the PI
does not do the observations, but rather there are research assistants who do the observations. If the PI does the observations then you need IRB approval--even if it is only at the exempt level of review. Annette Quoting "Brown, Barbara" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Traci, Do the rules vary with the type of research? A colleague suggests that either SRCD or APA guidelines may make exceptions for, say, a teacher who is using her students as the subjects of a study of effective math techniques. --Barbara Barbara Brown Psychology Department Technical Assistant 1116 8th Ave Grinnell College Grinnell, IA 50112 Phone: 641-269-3171 FAX: 641-269-4285 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________ From: Traci Giuliano [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 09, 2005 11:13 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences Subject: Re: Research ethics question: in loco parentis permission Mike, Thanks for verifying; this is pretty much what I thought. Would you (and/or other Tipsters) recommend rejecting an otherwise sound manuscript based on this objection? I'd be interested in any opinions on this. Cheers, Traci Traci, this is almost universally inappropriate (the only exception I know of to NOT get parental consent is when the child is abused or neglected by his/her parents or guardians). However, there may be other rare cases when it's justified, but the local IRB must determine that. As a former IRB member, I can't think of another context in which I would say that getting a teacher's permission is enough (although getting a Principal's and teacher's permission is also likely to be necessary for a school-based study).

Is this acceptable? Does anyone know APA's stance on this?
