Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the ethical complexities to be considered whilst conducting research on adolescents. In order to facilitate this study, John's model is used (John, 2000). This enables structured reflection through analysis of complex decision making, to develop learning and understanding which judges the ethical values regarding research involving adolescents. Critical evaluation of such ethical considerations helps to provide a perspective of the process undertaken. It also helps us to evaluate the limitations and advantages of using children as active agents in research and clarifies the role of the researcher.
