Should Biomedical Research With Great Apes Be Restricted? A Systematic Review Of Reasons, Bernardo Aguilera, Javiera Perez Gomez, David Degrazia
Should Biomedical Research With Great Apes Be Restricted? A Systematic Review Of Reasons, Bernardo Aguilera, Javiera Perez Gomez, David Degrazia
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
Background
The use of great apes (GA) in invasive biomedical research is one of the most debated topics in animal ethics. GA are, thus far, the only animal group that has frequently been banned from invasive research; yet some believe that these bans could inaugurate a broader trend towards greater restrictions on the use of primates and other animals in research. Despite ongoing academic and policy debate on this issue, there is no comprehensive overview of the reasons advanced for or against restricting invasive research with GA. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review of the reasons reported …
Intensive Care Unit Nurse: Could We Call A Palliative Care Consult? Intensive Care Unit Provider: It's Too Early. Palliative Care Integration In The Intensive Care Unit: The Struggle To Translate Evidence Into Practice, Natalie S. Mcandrew, Jill L. Guttormson, Sean Marks, Mary Rhodes, Jayshil Patel, Colleen Mccracken
Intensive Care Unit Nurse: Could We Call A Palliative Care Consult? Intensive Care Unit Provider: It's Too Early. Palliative Care Integration In The Intensive Care Unit: The Struggle To Translate Evidence Into Practice, Natalie S. Mcandrew, Jill L. Guttormson, Sean Marks, Mary Rhodes, Jayshil Patel, Colleen Mccracken
College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications
Despite evidence regarding the value of palliative care, there remains a translation-to-practice gap in the intensive care setting. The purpose of this article is to describe challenges and propose solutions to palliative care integration through the presentation and discussion of a critical care patient scenario. We also present recommendations for a collaborative palliative care practice framework that holds the potential to improve quality of life for patients and families. Collaborative palliative care is characterized by close working relationships with families, interprofessional intensive care unit healthcare teams, and palliative care specialists. The shortage of palliative care specialists has become a pressing …
Regulating Bodies: Children And Sexual Violence, Heather R. Hlavka
Regulating Bodies: Children And Sexual Violence, Heather R. Hlavka
Social and Cultural Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
The interdisciplinary silences on sexual violence and the omission of children and youth from social science research speak volumes of the power of the child as a flexible, cultural signifier. In this article, I argue that dominant frameworks of children and childhood make child sexual assault a discursive impossibility for most young people. The epistemic violence of silencing matters, and it is these erasures that are fundamental to understanding violence and power. I argue it is paramount for feminist researchers to call attention to the undermining qualities of Institutional Review Boards that act as gatekeepers of representation and voice.
Public Concern About Monitoring Twitter Users And Their Conversations To Recruit For Clinical Trials: Survey Study, Katja Reuter, Yifan Zhu, Praveen Angyan, Namquyen Le, Akil A. Merchant, Michael Zimmer
Public Concern About Monitoring Twitter Users And Their Conversations To Recruit For Clinical Trials: Survey Study, Katja Reuter, Yifan Zhu, Praveen Angyan, Namquyen Le, Akil A. Merchant, Michael Zimmer
Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications
Background:
Social networks such as Twitter offer the clinical research community a novel opportunity for engaging potential study participants based on user activity data. However, the availability of public social media data has led to new ethical challenges about respecting user privacy and the appropriateness of monitoring social media for clinical trial recruitment. Researchers have voiced the need for involving users’ perspectives in the development of ethical norms and regulations.
Objective:
This study examined the attitudes and level of concern among Twitter users and nonusers about using Twitter for monitoring social media users and their conversations to recruit potential clinical …
The Role Of Normative Marketing Ethics, Gene R. Laczniak, Patrick E. Murphy
The Role Of Normative Marketing Ethics, Gene R. Laczniak, Patrick E. Murphy
Marketing Faculty Research and Publications
This essay highlights the importance of normative thinking in marketing ethics and proposes avenues for future research. It begins with contrasting positive and normative ethics. Then, a brief discussion of the literature in the field is included. Arguments offered by those who tend to avoid normative analysis are examined. Four types of normative ethical theories are presented: consequentialism, duty-based ethics, contract-based morality, and virtue ethics. The essay concludes with seven future research directions for normative marketing ethics and customer-brand relationships.
Can Boundary Crossings In Clinical Supervision Be Beneficial?, Joellen M. Kozlowski, Nathan Pruitt, Theresa A. Dewalt, Sarah Knox
Can Boundary Crossings In Clinical Supervision Be Beneficial?, Joellen M. Kozlowski, Nathan Pruitt, Theresa A. Dewalt, Sarah Knox
College of Education Faculty Research and Publications
Published studies have addressed boundary violations by clinical supervisors, but boundary crossings, particularly those deemed positive by supervisees, have not received much attention. Eleven trainees in APA-accredited doctoral programs in clinical and counseling psychology were interviewed regarding positive boundary crossings (PBCs) they experienced with clinical supervisors. Interview data were analyzed using Consensual Qualitative Research. Examples of PBCs included socializing with supervisors outside the office, sharing car rides, and supervisor self-disclosure. Typically, supervisees did not discuss the PBC with their supervisors because they were uncomfortable doing so, felt that the PBC was normal, or felt that processing such issues was not …
Teaching Culturally Sensitive Care To Dental Students: A Multidisciplinary Approach, Evelyn Donate-Bartfield, William K. Lobb, Toni M. Roucka
Teaching Culturally Sensitive Care To Dental Students: A Multidisciplinary Approach, Evelyn Donate-Bartfield, William K. Lobb, Toni M. Roucka
School of Dentistry Faculty Research and Publications
Dental schools must prepare future dentists to deliver culturally sensitive care to diverse patient populations, but there is little agreement on how best to teach these skills to students. This article examines this question by exploring the historical and theoretical foundations of this area of education in dentistry, analyzes what is needed for students to learn to provide culturally sensitive care in a dental setting, and identifies the discipline-specific skills students must master to develop this competence. The problems associated with single-discipline, lecture-based approaches to teaching culturally sensitive care are outlined, and the advantages of an interdisciplinary, patient-centered, skills-based approach …
Euphemisms And Ethics: A Language-Centered Analysis Of Penn State’S Sexual Abuse Scandal, Jeremy Fyke, Kristen Lucas
Euphemisms And Ethics: A Language-Centered Analysis Of Penn State’S Sexual Abuse Scandal, Jeremy Fyke, Kristen Lucas
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
For 15 years, former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky used his Penn State University perquisites to lure young and fatherless boys by offering them special access to one of the most revered football programs in the country. He repeatedly used the football locker room as a space to groom, molest, and rape his victims. In February 2001, an eye-witness alerted Penn State's top leaders that Sandusky was caught sexually assaulting a young boy in the showers. Instead of taking swift action against Sandusky, leaders began a cover-up that is considered one of the worst scandals in sports history. While public …
The Ethics Of Conscious Capitalism: Wicked Problems In Leading Change And Changing Leaders, Jeremy P. Fyke, Patrice M. Buzzanell
The Ethics Of Conscious Capitalism: Wicked Problems In Leading Change And Changing Leaders, Jeremy P. Fyke, Patrice M. Buzzanell
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
Given corporate scandals, organizational crises, and accounting irregularities (e.g. Citigroup, BP oil spill, Enron, Arthur Andersen), leadership ethics has grown in relevance. The current study takes a discursive approach to engage in a multimethod case study of a consulting and leadership development firm that takes Conscious Capitalism as the impetus for, and target of, leader development. Using constructivist grounded theory and critical discourse analysis, we reveal themes and ‘best practices’ voiced by consultants and clients for cultivating mindfulness and developing ethical leaders, as well as micro- and macro-level paradoxes, tensions, and challenges: structuring-releasing; expanding-contracting; opening up-closing; and collaborating-competing. Our critical …

An Examination Of Personal Values And Value Systems Of Chinese And U.S. Business Students, Don Giacomino, Xin Li, Michael D. Akers
Accounting Faculty Research and Publications
Using the Rokeach Value Survey and the Musser and Orke typology this paper examines the personal values and value systems of business students in China and compares the results with the results of a recent study that used similar methodology to examine the values and value systems of U.S. students. The study also examines the differences in values and value systems of the Chinese students by gender and by major. While there are few differences for the Chinese students by gender, our findings show several differences in the rankings of values by the Chinese and U.S. students as well as …
Generational Differences Of Personal Values Of Business Students, Don Giacomino, Jill Brown, Michael Akers
Generational Differences Of Personal Values Of Business Students, Don Giacomino, Jill Brown, Michael Akers
Accounting Faculty Research and Publications
This paper examines the values and value systems of business students from a private mid-western university using the Rokeach Value Survey and the Musser and Orke Typology of Personal Values. The findings of this study are compared with the results of studies in the latter part of the 1990’s and early 2000 in order to provide some insights regarding generational differences. There is evidence of changes in several individual variables during the past decade. For example, the value with the greatest change is National Security. Students in 2010 place more importance on this value than did the students in 1998. …
Adopting An Attitude Of Wisdom In Organizational Rhetorical Theory And Practice: Contemplating The Ideal And The Real, Rebecca J. Meisenbach, Sarah Bonewits Feldner
Adopting An Attitude Of Wisdom In Organizational Rhetorical Theory And Practice: Contemplating The Ideal And The Real, Rebecca J. Meisenbach, Sarah Bonewits Feldner
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
Research and practice in external rhetoric often fall short of ideals both in terms of widespread use of a rhetorical perspective and in achieving dialogic conditions in the public sphere. In this response, the authors consider potential explanations for this shortfall, focusing on challenges that exist on a theoretical level within organizational rhetoric scholarship and on a practical level as individuals and organizations interact.

The Aims Of Public Scholarship In Media Law And Ethics, Erik Ugland
The Aims Of Public Scholarship In Media Law And Ethics, Erik Ugland
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
This essay urges scholars in media law and ethics to reevaluate the extent and utility of their public-scholar efforts and to consider ways that they can transfer research-based knowledge to public audiences while also playing a more deliberate role in holding media and government institutions accountable. It suggests that the devolution of standards in mass communication, the increasing encroachments on media autonomy, and the broader collapse of power into fewer hands make this a particularly urgent moment for scholars to reengage the public and to abandon their feckless neutrality on public issues. The overarching aim of public scholars ought to …
The Legitimacy And Moral Authority Of The National News Council (Usa), Erik Ugland
The Legitimacy And Moral Authority Of The National News Council (Usa), Erik Ugland
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
As an institution designed to resolve disputes between the public and the American news media and to assess the ethical standards of the mainstream media, the National News Council (1973-84) was, at least in the USA, a ground-breaking institution. This study suggests, however, that the Council's work was anything but revolutionary, and that it probably did more to entrench the received tenets of American journalism than to either validate or refashion them. By applying a conventional set of ethical standards in its resolution of disputes, by repeatedly emphasizing the First Amendment rights of the media respondents, by violating its by-laws …
The Community Of Nursing: Moral Friends, Moral Strangers, Moral Family, Carolyn A. Laabs
The Community Of Nursing: Moral Friends, Moral Strangers, Moral Family, Carolyn A. Laabs
College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications
Unlike bioethicists who contend that there is a morality common to all, H. Tristan Engelhardt (1996) argues that, in a pluralistic secular society, any morality that does exist is loosely connected, lacks substantive moral content, is based on the principle of permission and, thus, is a morality between moral strangers. This, says Engelhardt, stands in contrast to a substance-full morality that exists between moral friends, a morality in which moral content is based on shared beliefs and values and exists in communities that tend to be closely knit and religiously based. Of what value does Engelhardt’s description of ethics as …

Marketing, Consumers And Technology: Perspectives For Enhancing Ethical Transactions, Gene R. Laczniak, Patrick Murphy
Marketing, Consumers And Technology: Perspectives For Enhancing Ethical Transactions, Gene R. Laczniak, Patrick Murphy
Marketing Faculty Research and Publications
The advance of technology has influenced marketing in a number of ways that have ethical implications. Growth in use of the Internet and e-commerce has placed electronic "cookies," spyware, spam, RFIDs, and data mining at the forefront of the ethical debate. Some marketers have minimized the significance of these trends. This overview paper examines these issues and introduces the two articles that follow. It is hoped that these entries will further the important "marketing and technology" ethical debate.
Conflicted Interests, Contested Terrain: Journalism Ethics Codes Then And Now, Lee Wilkins, Bonnie Brennen
Conflicted Interests, Contested Terrain: Journalism Ethics Codes Then And Now, Lee Wilkins, Bonnie Brennen
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
By analyzing ethics codes, a professional statement of what constitutes good work, this essay links codes to a theory of culture and history. It considers two early journalism ethics codes and assesses the latest New York Times code in the light of philosophical theory. The paper suggests that professional tensions outlined in Good Work are reified in the Times code—and that history and culture may be less supportive of a positive outcome of this struggle over values than the insights of psychology might suggest.

Sports Marketing Ethics In Today's Marketplace, Gene R. Laczniak, Richard H. Burton, Patrick Murphy
Marketing Faculty Research and Publications
Sports marketing is a fast-growing business endeavor. However, certain aspects of it have drawn criticisms from several corners (e.g., media, government, coaches, and fans). This paper raises a number of ethical questions about various dimensions of sports marketing. Advice for addressing some of the ethical problems that occur is provided. The paper specifically asks if organizations using professional sports associations as a promotional lever for increasing sales can be hurt by a lack of ethics on the part of the leagues, teams, or players. It also implies that sport organizations, regardless of economic benefits derived or strong player unions, have …
