Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The process of protecting the rights and welfare of human research subjects raises issues of justice (beyond that defined in the Belmont report) and legitimacy. The analysis here shows the relevance of theoretical and empirical work in social psychology to the means by which Institutional Review Boards may enhance their pertinence to social and behavioral science researchers, secure the respect of researchers, and potentially achieve greater compliance. Specifically, I examine how the application of principles of procedural justice to the review of projects involving human subjects cultivates an atmosphere of trust and respect, thereby diminishing the perception of the IRB as a regulatory body charged with obstructing the work of researchers. In addition, I suggest that legitimacy or, more generally, collective sources of support from authorities as well as from researchers themselves may decrease resistance to IRB review. Such analysis inspires strategies to ensure compliance with federal regulations and, more importantly, to strengthen the understanding of the ethical underpinnings of the regulations.
