To allow or not allow? Reynald, a student of qualitative research is publishing his first research article on therapeutic communication as intervention among victims of Yolanda super typhoon. In this paper, Reynald uses the methodology from a psychological-author Dr. Reyes even without securing permission to use it for his own research although the work was cited. Aside from this, the Yolanda victims were forced to be interviewed with the promise that solutions to their problems will be granted.
Answer: NOT ALLOW. 1. Reynald should have an informed consent from the psychological-author since it is an interventional study. 2. It is unethical to force someone to participate in your study.
