Case study of ethics violation by researcher

Reference no: EM1355713

Can anyone help me with a summary of the poor outcome of the case below and the ethical principle(s)/codes the researcher violated and how. Also, is there a strategy that the researcher could have applied that might have helped resolve the ethical dilemma and would ether the dilemma have change if either the participant or the researcher was located outside of the United States. By using this strategy, would it cause any other problem?

Case:

A developmental psychologist received permission from a local school district to design and test a conflict resolution program for fifth and sixth graders. The school permitted her to offer the program during regularly scheduled health classes. Half of the classes served as controls. The success of the program was evaluated by comparing baseline and post-program responses of children to questions about their conflicts with peers, siblings, and parents. Without consulting with her IRB, the psychologist told the school superintendent that the research was exempt from IRB review and that parental permission would not be required for this type of research.
