Which of the following is a recommended method for securely storing raw data and consent forms before beginning data analysis?

Match each data security measure with the specific risk it is designed to manage during the psychological research process.

A psychology researcher has just completed a survey-based study on sleep habits. Arrange the following actions in the correct sequence to properly apply the principles of securing raw data before beginning their analysis.

A researcher implements a security protocol where de-identified raw data is stored on a password-protected computer with a remote cloud backup. This protocol is considered sufficient for securing raw data, even if the corresponding signed consent forms are left in an unlocked filing cabinet in a shared lab, because the digital data itself cannot be linked back to individuals without those physical forms.

A researcher concludes that since their research on 'memory for word lists' is not sensitive, they do not need to lock the cabinet containing the participants' signed consent forms. In an ethical evaluation, this practice is criticized for failing to protect participant ________, which is a requirement for all raw data and identifying documents.

According to the guidelines for securing raw data, backups or photocopies of the data should be stored in the same secure location as the original files for consistency.

In psychological research, why is it recommended that backups or photocopies of raw data be stored in a secure location separate from the original records?

Match each researcher's action in a psychology study with the data security principle it applies.

A student researcher is preparing to analyze survey data that contains participants' full names and email addresses. To protect participant confidentiality, the student must strip these details from the dataset, because raw data should not include _____ information.

Order the following steps a researcher should take to securely manage raw data and consent forms throughout the lifecycle of a study.
