    The document discusses the obligations of researchers and respondents in research studies. Researchers are responsible for communicating risks and benefits clearly, obtaining informed consent, protecting privacy, and sharing results. Respondents should understand the study, their role, and have the right to withdraw consent. The summarizer identified common challenges like lack of funding, poor study design, and difficulty replicating results. Financial constraints can pressure researchers, while hype and miscommunication mislead the public.

    BSA - IV

    1. Explain the obligation of the respondents in research data gathering.

    - Completely read the consent form and ask the researchers any questions you may
    have. You should understand what will happen to you during the study before you
    agree to participate.
    - Know the dates when your study participation starts and ends.
    - Carefully weigh the possible benefits (if any) and risks of being in the study.
    - Talk to the lead researcher if you want to stop being part of the research study.
    - Contact the researchers with complaints or concerns about your participation in the
    study.
    - Report to the lead researcher immediately any and all problems you may be having
    with the study drug/procedure/device.
    - Fulfill the responsibilities of participation as described on the consent forms unless
    you are stopping your participation in the study.
    - Tell the lead researcher or the person you are working with on the study when you
    have received the compensation you were promised for participating in the study.
    - Ask for the results of the study, if you want them.
    - Keep a copy of the consent form for your records.

    2. Discuss researcher’s responsibilities to the respondent in the conduct of research.

    - Researchers are employed to advance knowledge. You have a responsibility to


    develop the capacity for “independent, honest and critical thought” throughout your
    career
    - Researchers have a responsibility to communicate their research, to collaborate with
    others where appropriate and to transfer and exploit knowledge for the benefit of
    your employer, the economy and society as a whole
    - Researchers have a responsibility to behave honestly and ethically in the course of
    their research. More detailed guidance on research ethics is available
    - The ultimate responsibility for the personal and professional development of
    researchers lies with the individual researcher.

    3. Identify some problems that you foresee in the conduct of your research. What possible
    strategies will you employ to prevent or minimize these problems?

    1. Financial crunch

    Researchers face perpetual struggle to secure and sustain funding. The researchers
    tend to opt for short-term projects, which can sometimes be insufficient to study complex
    research questions. This means researchers make choices based on what would keep the
    funding bodies and their institutions happy. However, the consequences of these choices are
    an increasing number of published papers with substandard quality and low research
    impact.

    2. Poor study design in published papers


    Poorly designed studies have become a major concern for schools. One of the
    primary reasons behind this problem is that statistical flaws in published research often go
    undetected. Since breakthrough results are valued the most, researchers feel compelled to
    hype their results in order to get published. Moreover, they tend to focus on particular
    patterns in data and manipulate their study designs to make the results more attractive for
    the journals.

    3. Lack of replication studies

    The inability to reproduce and replicate results is a major problem plaguing research.
    Inherent problems in studies also hinder replication, such as inadequate data and
    complicated study design. . Most journals prefer publishing original and groundbreaking
    results because replication studies lack novelty. Researchers and funding bodies are
    reluctant to invest their resources in replication studies on similar grounds.

    4. Lack of adequate and accurate communication

    Researchers are partly responsible for this because they lack time or sometimes the
    inclination to engage with the public about their research work. Therefore, the public is
    largely dependent on the media, which is often blamed for misconstruing facts. The
    competitive nature of academic research is also responsible for poor communication of
    research. In an attempt to grab attention, sometimes researchers, universities, and even
    journals mislead the public by hyping the results or promoting only positive results.
    However, the researchers should take the responsibility of projecting an accurate picture of
    research to the public so that they can become cognizant of issues and have a say in the way
    their tax money is invested in research.

    4. Interview at least two people who have conducted research. Inquire from them about
    problems encountered in the data gathering stage and how these problems were solved.
    Share your findings with your teammates.

    > “The problem that we encountered during data gathering was that the company
    we interviewed had a code of confidentiality and were therefore unable to give us the
    complete data that we needed. Even if we swore to keep it confidential and said it was
    required for our thesis, they still refused to give us the data. The only way that me and my
    partner worked around it, is to ignore the missing data and build our thesis based on the
    data we have already gathered.”

    > “Misinformation ng tao, syempre di naman lahat ng tao my idea sa research na


    ginagawa natin. Yung naging solution don is giving time para magbigay ng brief knowledge
    about sa ginagawang research and para may idea rin sila sa magiging purpose nito.”
    “Human information, of course not everyone has an idea of the research that we are
    conducting. The solution that we have made is to give time to provide brief knowledge
    about the research being done and for them to have an idea of its purpose and significance.”

    5. Discuss how you will motivate respondents to participate in your research.

    - Provide an Incentive

    Incentives are extrinsic motivators and generally increase response rates to surveys
    in all modes, including phone-based, mailing, Internet, and panel studies. Monetary
    incentives tend to increase response rates more than gifts, and prepaid incentives increase
    response rates more than lotteries or promised incentives delivered upon survey
    completion. Unsurprisingly, increasing the amount of the incentive also increases
    participation rates.

    - Appeal to Intrinsic Motivation

    Some participants can be motivated to take your study if they feel their responses will make
    a difference. To attract these participants, be sure to include the benefits or impact
    participants’ responses will have in the study invitation.

    - Provide Personalized Feedback

    Many people participate in research studies to learn something, whether about


    themselves or the study being conducted. If you can provide respondents with either
    immediate or delayed information on their responses, response rates will likely increase.

    For example, when respondents received personalized feedback about their scores
    on the Big Five personality inventory, they were more likely to rate the survey as interesting
    and fun. Like providing incentives, the quality of the data in this study didn’t differ
    significantly between participants who received personalized feedback and those who
    didn’t.

    - Share the Findings

    When possible and if it makes sense, offer to share the results of the findings with
    respondents. For example, Consumer Reports regularly surveys its millions of members to
    answer reliability data about their cars. In return, Consumer Reports provides an aggregated
    set of responses to participants.
