Answers & Comments
Explanation:
I was able to follow the ethical guidelines of maintaining confidentiality, conducting data collection in a safe and secure environment, and ensuring that participants were given informed consent. However, I was not able to follow the ethical guideline of obtaining approval from a research ethics board, as I was not aware of this requirement when I began my research. As a result, I had to adjust my research activities to address the oversight. I made sure that all of my research activities were conducted in a responsible and respectful manner, and that no one was harmed or could be potentially harmed by my research.
