Title
Loyola Phoenix: Psychology students opt to be guinea pigs in experiments
Description
This article by Marianne Lichtenstein covers the voluntary participation of Psychology 101 students in psychological research at Loyola. Topics include how these experiments get approved, the debriefing, and the University's Committee on Ethical Treatment of Human Subjects. 25-30 experiments were run each semester, and results were kept anonymous. Students could also learn about the results afterwards. The interviewees also noted that the mostly-freshman college student pool was a limited test population, and there were probably other ways to get more diverse populations.
