“…It does not presuppose homogeneity in intentions to copy but reflects a summarization of the intentions, such as that which may occur as a result of a vote. The presence of deviation in intentions (to copy the software) within a group of students is significant, because it would indicate lack of conformity to a norm among the student population that illegal copying is acceptable (Cohen & Cornwell, 1989) and would stimulate debate. In a recent survey of students, only 29.8% of the respondents regarded software piracy as wrong (Hinduja, 2003).…”

“…Students consider copying of copyrighted software acceptable and normative behavior (Cohen & Cornwell, 1989;Glass & Wood, 1996;Hinduja, 2003). When the incidence of arguments in favor of copying within a group of such individuals increases, group members are likely to be exposed to a greater number of arguments that support their position and, consequently, are likely to converge to similar intentions to copy the software at the end of their discussion.…”

A laboratory experiment was conducted with 42 student groups to evaluate the effects of transactional vs. transformational leadership styles and anonymity when groups supported by an Electronic Meeting System (EMS) discussed the ethical issue of copying copyrighted software. A confederate leader displayed either transformational or transactional behaviors. Transformational leaders motivate effort by raising the awareness of followers to make them aspire to higher-order needs and values and by developing them to fulfill their aspirations. Transactional leaders motivate effort by highlighting the contractual exchange involved in a relationship. Participants working with a transformational confederate were more likely to make arguments that challenged the copying of copyrighted software than those working with one who was more transactional. These arguments, in turn, caused groups exposed to such arguments to have greater deviation among its members in intentions to copy the software. Participants working with a transactional confederate were more likely to make arguments in favor of copying copyrighted software. These arguments, in turn, caused groups exposed to such arguments to have a greater mean of intentions to copy the software. Implications for practice and future research on ethics and leadership in the electronic context are discussed.

“…Like all transdisciplinary collaborations client participation seldom appears to be a smooth process (Abma et al 2009b; Holmesland et al 2010). Although it does bring in new and valuable perspectives (Cohen and d’Oronzio 1989), we also need to be very alert that our own ‘academic,’ white, verbal and rationalist notions of dialogue and deliberation are not creating barriers for others to engage and involve with us (Abma 2006; Barnes 2008). Serious inclusion of newcomers in clinical ethics might also mean considering more embodied and creative forms of deliberation.…”

Moral case deliberation (MCD) is a form of clinical ethics support in which the ethicist as facilitator aims at supporting professionals with a structured moral inquiry into their moral issues from practice. Cases often affect clients, however, their inclusion in MCD is not common. Client participation often raises questions concerning conditions for equal collaboration and good dialogue. Despite these questions, there is little empirical research regarding client participation in clinical ethics support in general and in MCD in particular. This article aims at describing the experiences and processes of two MCD groups with client participation in a mental healthcare institution. A responsive evaluation was conducted examining stakeholders’ issues concerning client participation. Findings demonstrate that participation initially creates uneasiness. As routine builds up and client participants meet certain criteria, both clients and professionals start thinking beyond ‘us-them’ distinctions, and become more equal partners in dialogue. Still, sentiments of distrust and feelings of not being safe may reoccur. Client participation in MCD thus requires continuous reflection and alertness on relational dynamics and the quality of and conditions for dialogue. Participation puts the essentials of MCD (i.e., dialogue) to the test. Yet, the methodology and features of MCD offer an appropriate platform to introduce client participation in healthcare institutions.

“…Reasons given by respondents to this survey that have been canvassed in the literature include the following: involving patients in clinical ethics support will respect their autonomy and right to self-determination with full information; facilitate better clinical decision-making; and reflect multidisciplinary care and ensure all perspectives are represented. 7,8,17–19 One reason not identified by the small group of participants in this survey is that involving patients can actually protect their confidentiality. 20 Another reason is that involving patients will uphold mutuality - the idea of ‘patients as partners’.…”

“…Any committee considering patient participation will also have to consider questions such as advertising, response times and financial implications, and sound policies will need to be in place. 7,18,22 It might be argued that to fulfil the ambitions of clinical ethics consultation and maximize its benefit for the health-care site as a whole, patients should have the same right of access to consultation as the clinicians who treat them. But in a healthcare system reliant on rationing, this may be difficult to justify given the resource implications it will give rise to.…”

The role of patients in clinical ethics support: a snapshot of practices and attitudes in the United Kingdom

Clinical ethics committees (CECs) in the United Kingdom (UK) have developed significantly over the past 15 years. The issue of access to and participation in clinical ethics consultation by patients and family members has, however, gone largely unrecognized. There are various dimensions to this kind of contact, including patient notification, consent and participation. This study reports the first specific investigation of patient contact with UK CECs. A questionnaire study was carried out with representatives from UK CECs. Results suggest that patient participation in clinical ethics consultation is low and unlikely to change significantly in the near future. Attitudes towards patients having a role in clinical ethics consultation are mixed, with a variety of reasons put forward both for and against patient participation. These results are discussed in the light of common themes in the literature and the practical and political context of clinical ethics support in the UK.
