> Dear Aine
> If you are conducting research ethically, the BPS/APA (or other regulator) guidelines state that you need to provide a briefing note explaining the what the study involves, where you (the researcher) are from (e.g.which university or research centre) and your contact details so that people can contact you regarding your study. However, more cruically you must state whether your research has been ethically approved by your university/department and provide contacts details for the head of your ethics committee (such as email). This should be done in case a respondant has an ethical complaint or concern. If you are student you must provide your supervisors name and contact details as well. It is also a good idea to inform respondants what the data will be used for (e.g. part of a degree course or that you are conducting for a research company) - i'd suggest this statement be in the breifing note and the debreifing note. Another huge ethical concern I have with your study is that you have made it impossible for respondants to withdraw their data should they wish to do so. 
> 
> I am sure these oversights are an innocent mistake. However, since I cannot assess whether you are going to ensure my rights as a participant (see BPS or APAs codes of ethical conduct), since I cannot verify the ethical status of your research (no indication of whether your study has been through a stringent ethical examination by those on an ethical committee and no contacts for the ethical committee),  since I don’t know the purpose of your study and what the data will be used for, your study could be in breach of your universities/research centre’s regulations as well as the BPS and APA regulations. I would therefore suggest that you attach a briefing/consent and debriefing form to your study before collecting more data. Make it clear to respondants that you have done the following:
> • Ensured that respondents can provide informed consent (i.e. know what they are agreeing to; what the research is, who is conducting, which university you are from)
> • Enable the anonymity of respondents and communicate this with respondants 
> • Ensure that participants have the right to withdraw and that you can act upon such requests for withdrawing data
> • Ensure and communicate to respondents what the potential risks are to them (either physical or psychological)
> 
> If you are unaware of ethical practice and what you must communicate to your respondents then I would seriously recommend reading the BPS or APA ethical guidelines or reading up on human research ethics in Psychology or Social Sciences. I am sure others on this list would agree with me?

As has already been highlighted, a mistake has been made but it doesn't necessarily indicate a review of training. Issues such as this may suppress individuals, which in turn could cause even more mistakes to happen because people could fear posting on this site.

> Hi all,

> The recent discussions related to ethical approval for questionnaires, and using the mailing list in general for research participants, will be taken to the next PsyPAG committee meeting.
> 
> There have been a few disagreements recently around this subject and although PsyPAG does not technically own the list, we do monitor and 'police' it. As a result, using the list for research participants in general will be taken to the committee for further discussion. If the committee decide that using the list for such purposes is causing more hassle than it is worth then we will explore possible solutions -
> - Introducing a new list solely for this purpose
> - Introducing formal posting guidelines
> - Closing the mailing list
> 
> Can I ask that we remain supportive to all in our efforts to expand research knowledge and continue to develop a friendly online community of psychologists.

> I will update in the coming weeks when we have had a chance to discuss the matter.

> Hi all,

> I'd like to take this opportunity to raise the issue of what people actually want from this group, because at the moment I see it as having only two functions - the first being to advertise research, and the second as a statistic support group (mainly through the very kind efforts of one or two of our members). However, the reality is that we could be doing a lot more to support each other. The optimal means of doing this would be a forum, where we could have sections dedicated to various elements - i.e. does this proposal make sense, can you check the ethics of this study, will you take part in my research, etc. A forum does take more effort and will require volunteers to police it, etc. but it, and the group, would be much more supportive as a product of that change.

I thought that some of the content in the emails was great, but when things like this occur it's appalling. Some of the people in here have not only made it clear that Aine has made a mistake but if I were her and were having many MANY people continuously tell me how wrong I was I would feel embarrassed and very stressed. As for the lectures from people about multiple postings, I don't think that is appropriate either, there are people always joining email groups such as this, and these people will not have had a chance to complete another study that has previously been posted. I agree that there are extremes (such as the individual 6 weeks+ ago) but generally, so what if they post it 3 times in 3 weeks? Who cares? I don't - if I've done the study, or I'm not interested I will simply delete the email. What i find more irritating is "i'm emailing their supervisor" "it's awful" "you should know better" "it's simply not acceptable" there were 10+  this morning, and now there are at least another 18 about it (granted I agree with the majority this afternoon, telling people to stop emailing about it and that now Aine has been informed she needs to contact her supervisor herself), and she's obviously going to be feeling awful now. Leave it alone! She has got the message.

I thought that some of the content in the emails was great, but when things like this occur it's appalling. Some of the people in here have not only made it clear that Aine has made a mistake but if I were her and were having many MANY people continuously tell me how wrong I was I would feel embarrassed and very stressed. As for the lectures from people about multiple postings, I don't think that is appropriate either, there are people always joining email groups such as this, and these people will not have had a chance to complete another study that has previously been posted. I agree that there are extremes (such as the individual 6 weeks+ ago) but generally, so what if they post it 3 times in 3 weeks? Who cares? I don't - if I've done the study, or I'm not interested I will simply delete the email. What i find more irritating is "i'm emailing their supervisor" "it's awful" "you should know better" "it's simply not acceptable" there were 10+  this morning, and now there are at least another 18 about it (granted I agree with the majority this afternoon, telling people to stop emailing about it and that now Aine has been informed she needs to contact her supervisor herself), and she's obviously going to be feeling awful now. Leave it alone! She has got the message.

I'd like to see what happens there, and what their thoughts are for the future (re. a forum maybe, as I mentioned earlier). On top of that, please remember that the majority of people who have written today have said 'yes, errors were made and need to be corrected', but only one person has taken that too far (in my opinion). So, on that basis, I would urge people to give it a day or two and then see how they feel.
