RESEARCH STUDY 4.1 Dr. Kline Is Planning on Conducting a Study Next Semester

RESEARCH STUDY 4.1
Dr. Kline is planning on conducting a study next semester. He is curious as to whether sleep deprivation is associated with poorer cognitive performance. For example, if you sleep poorly the night before a big exam, will you do worse? Dr. Kline is especially curious about selective sleep deprivation, where people are kept from entering R.E.M. (rapid eye movement) sleep. Using an electroencephalograph (EEG) to monitor brain waves, he plans to let participants sleep until they enter R.E.M. sleep and then he will wake them. After 1 minute of being awake, he plans to let them return to sleep. As they enter R.E.M. sleep again, he wakes them up again and follows the same procedure. He plans to do this through the entire 8-hour sleep session. The following morning, participants will be asked to take a sample SAT test.
-Refer to Research Study 4.1 above to answer the following question. To address the Belmont Principle of Beneficence,Dr.Kline would need to ask which of the following questions?

A) Are the people in my study going to benefit as much as the people not in my study?
B) What can I do to decrease the potential harm experienced by my participants?
C) Can the participants in my study give full, informed consent?
