RESEARCH STUDY 4.1
Dr. Kline is planning on conducting a study next semester. He is curious as to whether sleep deprivation is associated with poorer cognitive performance. For example, if you sleep poorly the night before a big exam, will you do worse? Dr. Kline is especially curious about selective sleep deprivation, where people are kept from entering R.E.M. (rapid eye movement) sleep. Using an electroencephalograph (EEG) to monitor brain waves, he plans to let participants sleep until they enter R.E.M. sleep and then he will wake them. After 1 minute of being awake, he plans to let them return to sleep. As they enter R.E.M. sleep again, he wakes them up again and follows the same procedure. He plans to do this through the entire 8-hour sleep session. The following morning, participants will be asked to take a sample SAT test.

Imagine that Dr.Kline is a clinical psychologist who volunteers his time at a local prison counseling several inmates.Because of his connections there,he is considering using prisoners as his participants.The institutional review board (IRB)that reviews his committee must have which of the following as a member?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since Dr. Kline is considering using prisoners as participants, the IRB must have a prisoner advocate as a member to ensure that the rights and welfare of the prisoners are protected during the research study. It is important to have someone who can advocate for the prisoners' interests and ensure that their participation is voluntary and informed. While the other options may be relevant to the prison context, they are not necessary for an IRB reviewing a research study involving prisoners.
