Question

Dr. Kekoa is mentoring the dissertation of a psychology student who emails him that she has collected half of her dissertation data. She comes to his office to excitedly report that the preliminary analyses support her research hypotheses. He reviews the data and realizes that, in fact, the results are in the opposite direction of her hypotheses. He corrects her confusion about the type of statistics she should use and how to interpret results that would or would not support her thesis. Two months later, the student returns with her completed data collection, and this time the analysis indicates that all the data collected since their last conversation support the hypotheses. Dr. Kekoa is concerned that the student may be fabricating or intentionally biasing the analysis of the data. The university has a strict policy on academic integrity. Dr. Kekoa knows that data fabrication is a serious violation that can result in the student's removal from the program.

Drawing on the ethical decision model in Chapter 4, how might Dr. Kekoa best approach this dilemma?
