Abstract
This tutorial discusses ethical considerations for researchers conducting sexuality research with emerging adults. During this imperative research, participants may be asked to provide information that could be considered highly personal or intimate. This has been considered to be a potential source of distress for participants and, some have argued, a potential source of harm. This discussion is explored throughout the tutorial. This tutorial also provides a thorough review of the literature, including references to ethical codes of conduct from the National Institutes of Health and the American Psychological Association. In addition, it reviews several methods of conducting sexuality research and provides recommendations for minimizing the risk of harm. Overall, it is crucial for researchers to identify a balance between the risk of harm and their own scientific objectives.
