> Hmmm, but psychologists who are not clinical are not licensed, and they still have to deal with APA ethics and with IRB's etc.
IRB?? Yeah. I guess they come under the ethics board at the uni.
> I know at my school there are different levels of IRB approval. I am using archival data, and I essentially need to just get a "sign-off". Surveys require a bit more scrutiny, but are also fairly easy to get approved. Experiments or some other type of data collection from human participants are the hardest to get approved. You have to jump through lots of hoops.That makes sense.
>I suspect observation would fall somewhere between surveys and experiments, but then again, you could go to the mall and count backpacks and do no harm. Hmmmm.
Yeah. And the observations that philosophers typically make are such observations as 'there are material objects' and 'sometimes people communicate by using language'.
I guess I have been thinking of it as simply quoting something that someone has said. Like you would quote an article or whatever. Thinking that you could quote peoples posts like that. But maybe I am wrong on that. I haven't really looked into it too much. Just asked officemate and he seemed to see it the same way and tried to hunt out the copyright / fair use guidelines.
> Probably so, I don't follow this at all.Nor do I really.
