Thanks Stuart, Rick and Annette! I stand corrected in my understanding of the
ethical requirements. My students will be pleased their project is feasible.

Dear Tipsters,

Where does it say that in the APA guidelines that in a standard psychological
study we MUST give incentives? ......
What ever happened to "volunteers" in the truest sense of the word?
It may explain some of the "entitlement" people in general feel these days if
"ethical principles" now bind us to incentivize studies!
In many psych studies we use a subject pool and students get credit for
participation; but that really has nothing to do with incentivizing other than
making sure that we (the big we--all researchers across the country doing
research) actually get participants for studies because if we depended on true
volunteers, they would be very few and far between and of course we justify
this as providing with a unique experiential insight into the research
process--which, of course, is partly true.
That said, true volunteering can't possibly be unethical, can it?????
_________________
I also am not aware of an APA blanket injunction to offer incentives. Indeed,
in our department we have actually abandoned our practice of course credit
(even extra credit) for research participation.
However, we do not object if individual student researchers arrange their own
incentives. Two examples from recent practice are freshly baked cookies (very
effective, I may add) and entry into a draw for a gift certificate.
Sincerely,
Stuart
