Mock IRB Application-Part 1<\/strong><\/p>\n MOCK IRB APPLICATION EXERCISE-PT. 1<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n Psychological experiments that are conducted on human or animal subjects must go through a review by an administrative body known as an Institutional Review Board (IRB). \u00a0Approval must be gained by an IRB before a study can be funded or conducted. \u00a0Researchers, whether they are faculty, students, or other affiliated personnel, must complete a detailed application that is presented to the IRB for its review.<\/p>\n APUS has an IRB, much like that of any research-producing university or institution. \u00a0Attached you will find an amended version of the actual application that researchers must submit to the IRB in advance of conducting psychological research. ***This is a mock version of the application. \u00a0You are not actually submitting anything to the real APUS IRB while conducting this exercise.<\/strong><\/p>\n For this exercise, you will choose one of the psychological experiments listed at the bottom of these instructions. \u00a0These are experiments that have already been conducted and published. \u00a0Several are \u201cclassic\u201d experiments in social psychology of which you should already be aware. \u00a0You will read the published article carefully and then you will take the knowledge gleaned from the article to complete the IRB application AS IF you were the Principal Investigator applying for approval to conduct the study.<\/p>\n For some of the questions included on the application, you may need to \u201cstretch\u201d your knowledge a bit. \u00a0For example, the published article may say that college students were given extra credit for participation, but may not go into a lot of detail regarding the process used to recruit those students. \u00a0In such a situation, you may need to use your imagination to fill in some blanks.<\/p>\n In addition, please remember that the goal here is to put yourself in the principal investigator\u2019s shoes at the time that he\/she conducted the experiment. \u00a0If the experiment was conducted in the 1970s, for example, remember that the standards for human experimentation were different back then. \u00a0Answer the questions as the investigator WOULD have answered them (based upon what you read about the experiment), not as they SHOULD have answered them based upon today\u2019s ethical standards.<\/p>\n =================================================================================================================<\/p>\n Please choose ONE of the following experiments to read:<\/strong><\/p>\n
