Dr. Bishop wants to study how small children respond to scary stimuli. She will explain the procedure to parents and ask them to sign a permission form. She will have 3-5 year old kids individually come into her lab

Each child will be given a teddy bear to cuddle with. She will then stand a couple of feet behind the child as he or she plays and make a very loud scary sound. She will observe and measure the child's responses. The

Answer:

The correct option is;

The proposal is denied, because participants will likely suffer psychological harm

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the recommendations in the report on ethical research with children, it is suggested that the following should be observed by researchers;

1) Seeking consent should be a continuous process

2) Contemplate payment forms other than money to allow more discretion on child safety

3) Have two way communication with the child

4) Ask for assent of the child participating in the research

The above APA suggestions where not met by the researcher in the study.
