Ethical issues and exposure to rape stimuli: A reply to Sherif

Author Neil M. Malamuth Author Seymour Feshbach

Abstract

In response to the 3 ethical issues raised by C. Sherif (see record 1981-09162-001), the following arguments are made: (a) there is a need to measure the effectiveness of the authors' attempts to counteract possible undesirable effects of the research materials; (b) Sherif's criticisms of the authors' alternative data interpretations are unfounded; and (c) Sherif's suggestion to formalize the process of having investigators consider the social policy implications of their research is wholeheartedly supported.
