Abstract
This project investigates the role of ethics and documentation in live subject research within the Biological Division of the Psychology Department at the University of Illinois. On the basis of literature research and interviews, the authors provide a historical overview of the Department of Psychology and of institutes and procedures concerned with live subject research nationally and at the university. The study finds that, since companies providing research grants are usually large multinational companies or government agencies, state legislation is very inefficient at regulating the ethics and methods involved with live subject research. The only way the state could control live subject research would be to surpass the companies and national agencies in providing funding for research. Ethics and documentation can and does have overwhelming effects on psychologists’ live subject research. Most of these principles have evolved over time as psychological practices have changed.
