Brief IntroductionThe research is an integral part of the human lives. The scholars and the scientists conduct research in different domain to create knowledge and use it to make the human lives easier. The human participation is an integral part of the research process. Over the years, severalresearches in the medical and sociological domain have involved the humans. However, these research have come under the scrutiny of the ethics committee as several times the research process creates a negative impact on the human lives or the research participants. Therefore, a social networking site (XYZ) is trying to conduct an experiment in its users to know whether they can attain the emotional state of its users. The digital scent technology is in its infancy which will be examined for the experiment. It is a technology through which scent-enabled digital media can be transmitted and received on the digital mediums. The company would like to know whether different types of smells updated on the social media can influence the mood ofthe users. However, the involvement of the human participants can raise several ethical questionsregarding voluntary participation, privacy, integrity and the respect for the rights of the users. The management of the organization is also worried as Facebook, a social networking site also manipulated the content of its users to examine its role in the change of emotions of the users (Bui,2013). The change in emotions was examined by the individual posts of the users. Facebooktampered the news feed of several users b showing them abnormally low level of positive and thenegative new feed. The researchers found that the negative posts or news feed brought more negative comments and similarly positive feedbacks and comments brought positive comments. However, the present research was heavily criticized on the basis of ethical grounds as the research participants were not aware of the research process. Therefore, it is important that XYZorganization designs and develops a research design which addresses the ethical issues in the
research process. The present report will examine the various ethical issues and the research design issues in the proposed research. In addition to it, thee research will propose research approach which will be the most suitable for the research. Literature ReviewAccording toStebbins (2001), the fundamental of an ethical research is that the rights andthe welfare of the research participants is always protected. In the last century, large number of social and the medical researchers have done experiments on the sick and the poor, which has made is necessary for the government to systematically protect the rights of the individual participants in the research process. Several committees have been formed which assures that theresearch process abides by the ethical standards. It is important that the researcher respects the rights of the research participants. The research participants should be treated a person rather than just objects of study. When experiments are done on the human subjects, it raises no moral questions; however, as soon as the research participants become animate person, the innocence of the research is lost. In the perception of Loue, (2007), there are several ethical challenges in the research design and informed consent in the behavioral setting, especially in the resource-poor setting. There are several social, cultural and ethical issues in the social or biomedical research. Strengthening the knowledge about the international ethics is essential in the development of ethics-based research study. Other than obtaining informed consent of the research participant, it is essential that the researcher respect the cultural traditions of the study populations and the communities. There should be independent committee for the ethical review of protocols so that the research remains ethics based. Ongoing feedback should be provided to the research participants regarding the
