Against Recruiting Participants for Psychology Research https://doi.org/10.1037/qup0000354 I see the reasons that account for cautioning against the recruitment of participants for social research. It is a good suggestion to check whether the research question can be answered with naturally occurring data. 1/
However, I doubt all research questions can be answered with naturally occurring data and that their collection may come with their own ethical challenges. I don't think it is implied by the article, but I would argue against making the RQs one asks conditional on naturally occuring data. 2/
@ingorohlfing Thank for sharing. Definitely a call for being more considerate, all in research design, recruitment, interviewing, and analysis.
