The Handbook Of Ethical Research With Ethnocultural Populations & Communities

Psychology scientists examine how the changing demographics of the US affects research design in their field, arguing that research with ethnocultural populations requires a paradigm shift in how social science is conducted if the research is to be considered ethical by participants reflecting the multicultural mosaic. They cover the foundations of ethnocultural research and research ethics; challenges involving diverse ethnocultural groups; socially sensitive research involving ethnocultural families and communities; and the rights and responsibilities of individuals, communities, and institutions. Among the populations they discuss are African Americans, American Indians, Alaska natives, Asian and Pacific Islander Americans, Hispanic or Latina/o, and immigrants and refugees.
