Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ethical risk taken by the researchers was that they only sent the letter requesting the state senators to support the child restraint bill to half of the senators, which could have potentially affected the outcome of the study and influenced the decision-making process of the senators. By only sending the letter to a selected group of participants, the researchers were not ensuring equal opportunity for all senators to consider the proposal, which could be seen as an unethical practice.
