Dr. Green is conducting a study on the effects of exposure to violent media on aggressive behavior in adolescents. The study involves exposing a group of teenagers to violent video games and television shows over several weeks to measure changes in aggression and violent tendencies. To measure the impact, Dr. Green plans to observe participants’ behavior in a controlled setting and then assess whether exposure to violent media leads to an increase in aggressive behavior in real-world situations. Dr. Green’s research design includes allowing the participants to interact with one another in a group setting after their media exposure. During these interactions, Dr. Green has not implemented sufficient supervision and has failed to provide adequate safeguards to ensure the safety of all participants. The researcher does not clearly warn participants about appropriate behavior during the study’s social interaction phase, nor does Dr. Green intervene when the teenagers begin to engage in increasingly hostile and aggressive interactions. As the study progresses, one of the participants, Mark, influenced by the violent video games and shows he was exposed to during the study, becomes agitated during a group discussion. He reacts to a minor disagreement with another participant by physically attacking him. This leads to a serious fight that results in Mark causing physical harm to another teenager, causing emotional trauma and injury. Dr. Green, who was present during the interaction, failed to intervene immediately or provide appropriate conflict resolution strategies. Afterward, Dr. Green does not report the incident to authorities or seek medical attention for the injured participant, instead he chose to downplay the severity of the situation in his research notes and in follow-up interviews with the participants.
