Question 1
Question
According to the federal regulations, which of the following studies meets the definition of research with
human subjects?
Your answer
A university designs an in-house study to improve the mentoring of women students in its engineering
department with the proposed outcome consisting of a report of recommendations for the department.

Incorrect
Correct Answer
An experiment is proposed on the relationship between gender-related stereotypes in math and the
subsequent performance by males and females on math tests.
Comment
In the study of the effects of evoking stereotypes on subsequent performance, the researcher has a
research question and will be manipulating the behavior of individuals. An in-house study conducted
with the intention of improving a department's mentoring programs is not research with human
subjects, but rather program improvement. Receiving data with no identifiers is not research with
human subjects because there is no interaction or intervention with a living human being and no
collection of private identifiable data. In addition, creating a report for a membership organization does
not involve a research question, as defined by the federal regulations, so it too is not research with
human subjects.

CITI FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100% CORRECT
The study of passenger lists is a study of individuals who are no longer living. A human subject is a living
individual. Questioning individuals to acquire data about the number of newly diagnosed HIV cases is
asking "about what" questions rather than "about whom" questions. Conducting a linguistic analysis of
comments posted on a public blog involves neither interaction with individuals nor collecting private
identified information and thus does not meet the definition of research with human subjects. The study
proposed by the developmental psychologist does meet the definition of research with human subjects.
It involves interactions with living individuals and is designed to contribute to a field of knowledge.
