“…The sample size was small, but sufficient, and we used three types of research misbehaviors for which we expected that students without much research experience would find obvious differences. We developed our scenarios for this research because previous studies did not have scenarios for testing moral foundation in the context of research integrity (e.g., Christians et al, 2020). As the three scenarios were presented to all students in the same order, their sequence could have an effect on the results by making participants more aware about the research misconduct.…”

The study aimed to examine whether the use of words related to different moral foundations can predict the perceived severity of research misconduct. We gave two groups of participants, undergraduate medical students, the same hypothetical scenarios of research misconduct cases containing words related to different aspects of morality, and asked them to assess how inappropriate the described behavior was. Students ranked the described behaviors differently by the inappropriateness of the behavior, but the group wording was not a significant predictor of appropriateness. The reasons for the ranking were not related to any standardized procedures for research integrity but were related to the moral assessment of the students, which was assessed using qualitative approach. The results of this study implicate that personal moral views are an important part in research integrity training.

“…On the other hand, by continuing to produce such content, they might ignore concerns of parents, school counselors, and mental health experts. No ethical norm might defend the action of a producer intending to encourage or incite self-harm (Christians et al, 2015). Even though the intention of the producer is morally good, one should consider the ethical decisions to be made when portraying this kind of story.…”

13 Reasons Why: can a TV show about suicide be ‘dangerous’? What are the moral obligations of a producer?

The release of the Netflix’s show 13 Reasons Why caused significant public concern about the risk of suicide contagion among teenagers – particularly those who have suicidal thoughts. Practitioners and researchers expressed apprehension about the show for its apparent praise of suicide and for allegedly increasing suicide risk among vulnerable teenagers. However, there is a lack of clear evidence for the influence of fictional content on self-harm. Little is known about variations in media effects between news and fiction. The literature focuses mainly on non-fictional media reporting, without making any distinction between individual vulnerability and the type of media portrayal. The present article criticizes the assumption that risk of self-harm is reduced by sanitizing fictional content. The absence of definite scientific evidence is precisely why this article re-addresses the problem through an ethical perspective by focusing on the moral responsibility of Netflix. Censoring fiction may do more harm than good, but producers have the responsibility to evaluate in advance the potential impact that such content has on vulnerable people, and to support viewers as well as parents, educators, and practitioners through an adequate campaign of prevention.
