Problem:
Summarize and include in-text citations and references: To remedy these ethical violations, the following steps could have been taken: Informed Consent: The researchers could have provided a more accurate description of the study's nature, ensuring that participants were aware of the potential psychological stress involved. While some deception might still be necessary, the extent of it could have been minimized. Deception: The researchers could have designed the experiment in a way that didn't require deception about the other participant's role. For example, they could have used a simulation or a role-play scenario where the participant knew that the other person was an actor. Debriefing: The researchers could have provided a more thorough debriefing, including psychological support to help participants deal with any stress or discomfort experienced during the study. Minimizing Harm: The researchers could have designed the experiment in a way that minimized psychological stress and discomfort. For example, they could have used lower shock levels or provided participants with more control over the process. Confidentiality: While this was maintained in the Milgram Experiment, it's important to reiterate that maintaining participant confidentiality is crucial in all psychological research. By following these steps, the researchers could have conducted the Milgram Experiment in a way that adhered more closely to the APA's ethical guidelines.
