The other group will not receive any special training. The students who received training are expected to increase their identification with prosocial values by the end of the course, and the students who did not receive special instruction are not expected to improve in this regard. a. What are some of the ethical problems presented by this research plan? b. How might each of these ethical problems be avoided or eliminated?
