Professor Kwan studies violence and designs a study of the effects of video game violence on children. She recruits low-income, Hispanic children from schools near the university to participate. Each child is assigned to play either a violent or nonviolent video game 2 hours each evening for a month. The children's teachers are asked to assess changes in behavior. Data analysis shows no effect of game type, but Professor Kwan knows several children didn't follow the procedure, so she makes up data for them and then shows a significant effect. Which part of American Psychological Association (APA) Ethical Standard 8 did the data violate?

    Answer:The reporting of research results

    Explanation:

    The reporting of the results should represent the actual information that was gathered and shouldn't be made up however researchers may be tempted to make their research sounds more interesting than it would if there were to represent the facts as they are.

    These may be done by giving inaccurate statistical values, rejecting negative outcome like Professor Kwan above, not reporting the true numbers, using inaccurate graphs etc.

    Professor Kwan received the results that she did not expect to receive hence she makes up the data, rejecting the actual results and ommitting the actual information that she received so now she is not reporting the accurate infromation.
