The ethical considerations necessary in social research. Keeping this in mind, what is your reaction to Laud Humphrey's (1970) research design for The Tearoom Trade: Impersonal Sex in Public Places? Did the benefits of his research outweighed the ethical compromises? How do you think study participants (beyond the informants who agreed to participate) might feel if they found out that the actual nature of the study that they were participating in? What feedback would you provide to Humphreys about his research design?
