question 4 which of the following constitutes both a breach of confidentiality (the research data have been disclosed, counter to the agreement between researcher and subjects) and a violation of subjects’ privacy (the right of the individuals to be protected against intrusion into their personal lives or affairs)? in order to eliminate the effect of observation on behavior, a researcher attends a support group and records interactions without informing the attendees. a faculty member makes identifiable data about sexual behavior available to graduate students, although the subjects were assured that the data would be de - identified. a researcher, who is a guest, audio - records conversations at a series of private dinner parties to assess gender roles, without informing participants. a researcher asks cocaine users to provide names and contact information of other cocaine users who might qualify for a study.
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
1. Option A: Recording interactions in a support - group without informing attendees is a privacy violation but may not necessarily involve disclosure of research data against an agreement.
2. Option B: Making identifiable data about sexual behavior available to graduate students when subjects were assured of de - identification is both a breach of confidentiality (disclosure against agreement) and a privacy violation (intrusion into personal sexual behavior).
3. Option C: Audio - recording conversations at private dinner parties without informing participants is a privacy violation but may not involve a clear breach of confidentiality in terms of research data agreement.
4. Option D: Asking for names and contact information of other cocaine users is more about recruitment and may not be a clear - cut case of both confidentiality breach and privacy violation.
# Answer:
B. A faculty member makes identifiable data about sexual behavior available to graduate students, although the subjects were assured that the data would be de - identified.
