Question

multiple choice question
why did the american sociological association make the code of ethics a part of sociological research?
○ to distinguish sociology from other sciences that do not have a code of ethics
○ to encourage sociologists to maintain objectivity, integrity, and the confidentiality of their subjects
○ to tell research subjects how they should behave while being studied
○ to generate revenue from dues

Explanation:

The American Sociological Association's code of ethics establishes core standards for research practice, focused on upholding ethical research conduct including objectivity, integrity, and protecting research subjects' confidentiality. The other options are incorrect: sociology does not need to distinguish itself this way, the code is for researchers not subjects, and dues are unrelated to the code's purpose.

Answer:

O to encourage sociologists to maintain objectivity, integrity, and the confidentiality of their subjects
