Review Questions

1. A developmental psychologist applies to an institutional review board (IRB), proposing to observe children ages 2-10 playing in the local McDonald’s play area. Because the area is public, the researcher does not plan to ask for informed consent form the children’s parents. What ethical concerns exist for this study? What questions might an IRB ask?
