Identify the research method used by Rosenhan. Write down a brief summary of the research study in the following format: Aim, Method, Procedure, Results, Conclusion.

Which of the results of the study are linked to methodological considerations in diagnosis (validity) and which results link to ethical considerations?

Review the concept of schema and state how exactly it links to the results of Rosenhan’s study.

How would you evaluate the ethical aspect of Rosenhan’s study itself? Think about deception that was involved in conducting the study, pseudo-patients’ distress and the reputation of hospitals. If you were a member of the ethics committee reviewing the proposal for the study, would you approve it?
