ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses how ethical expectations manifest in research and looks at the most common ethical questions. Topics include acknowledging the source of ideas, ensuring people agree to be part of the research, and creating responsible arguments. There is a need for the ethical dimensions of each decision and action in a research process to be weighed. If we do not think about the consequences of our work and take them seriously, it is possible to cause a lot of harm. The chapter discusses specific aspects of this, but it is critical to keep in mind the overarching need for researchers to work ethically and in good faith. In considering attribution in research, the easiest place to start is published materials. In social research, including education, confidentiality is much more common than anonymity. While discussing consent, it is worth mentioning the times when informed consent is not possible because deception is a necessary part of the research.
