In an effort to understand how group dynamics change under duress, a research team gathers 100 people at a very remote mountain location, bringing them all in by helicopter. Using carefully designed interviews, the researchers begin the lengthy process of interviewing the participants. After the second day, however, there are a dozen participants who express unhappiness and want to leave. The research team reminds them that they signed an agreement agreeing to be interviewed knowing what it entailed, that leaving is not practical and that they need to continue with the process. The research team is overlooking what aspect of research?

Answer:

Ensuring voluntary participation

Step-by-step explanation:

Voluntary participation: voluntary participation demands that people should not be forced or pressurized for participating in research. Basically, it says that the potential research participants should be completely informed about the risks and procedures involved in the research and should give their consent to participate in the research.

The participants involved in a research study should be allowed to stop or withdraw participating at any time during the research study.
