He designs an experiment with two groups and a sample of pregnant mothers is randomly allocated to the groups. In the control group, the pregnant women do not drink any alcohol during their pregnancy. In the experimental group, the pregnant women are asked to consume 10 units of alcohol per week. The psychologist studies the development of the foetus in all participants at regular intervals during the pregnancy in orderto see if there are differences between the two groups. stephen_badham https://padlet.com/stephen_badham/6lg1xs08eae/wish/123688411 2016-09-14 08:32:01 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_badham/6lg1xs08eae/wish/123688411 Student activity: Read the following case study and consider the four questions below for each case: 1.  What ethical issues need to be considered in each case study? 2.  What can the psychologist do to address the ethical issues in each case study? 3.  How might each study be designed differently to improve ethical practice? 4.  What might the strengths and weaknesses of each re-designed study be? stephen_badham https://padlet.com/stephen_badham/6lg1xs08eae/wish/123689148 2016-09-14 08:36:01 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_badham/6lg1xs08eae/wish/123689148
