Identify one way faculty researchers can possibly avoid undue influence of student subjects?

A.     Offer more monetary compensation to those who participate

B.     Provide extra credit to those who participate

C.      Conduct research for less than ten minutes during class

D.     Avoid recruiting their own students in the research

Answer:- D. Avoid recruiting their own students in the research

Students should not be recruited by faculty researchers to participate in their research studies and this issue needs careful consideration, as there is a risk of undue influence on the students. When professors hire their own students, it gives an implicit shift in balance of power where the student may feel obligated or coerced into participating if he does not want to do so for fear of offending the professor or some form his retaliation. This violates the ethic of voluntary participation in research.

Instead, the faculty should recruit student participants from classes not their own or other subject pools to avoid this potential bias. They should clearly tell all possible student participants that this participation will not change their academic point or future relations with the teacher. This ensures that students are giving their participation freely and the data collected is free of any sense of obligations. By not using their own students, faculty can draw up ethically responsible research and safeguard the rights or interests of subjects.
