In a study examining children's social competence in elementary school settings, the authors had the opportunity to compare children who received parental permission to participate to children who did not receive permission. Results indicated that children who were not involved in the study were more likely to be viewed by teachers as having unsatisfactory relationships with peers than children who were in the study. The present results suggest that investigators begin reporting the number of children who do not participate in a given study and begin examining whether minors who receive parental permission differ on important dimensions from minors who do not receive such permission. Ethical considerations of the present study are discussed.
在一项考察小学环境中儿童社交能力的研究中，作者有机会将获得家长许可参与研究的儿童与未获得许可的儿童进行比较。结果表明，未参与该研究的儿童比参与研究的儿童更有可能被教师认为与同伴关系不令人满意。目前的结果表明，研究人员应开始报告未参与特定研究的儿童数量，并开始研究获得家长许可的未成年人在重要方面是否与未获得此类许可的未成年人有所不同。本文还讨论了该研究的伦理考量。
