Summary

Many psychology departments routinely enlist students to serve as subjects. How can researchers ensure adequate protection for the rights and welfare of these human subjects? How can universities improve their administrative practices so that their research programs are both successful and ethically managed? This volume reviews the structure and functioning of departmental subject pools, examines the institutional review boards that oversee them, and provides an important new resource for researchers interested in the welfare of human subjects.
