Imagine that you have been a member of a research team conducting an Institution Review Board (IRB) approved study of interpersonal aggression among preschoolers for more than a year. You have learned that a friend of a friend can help you gain research access to a group of unusually racially diverse preschoolers from varying SES and education backgrounds and you can do observations of these children really soon and at their daycare facility. Several of your team members want to pursue this option and move on it quickly, arguing that there is no time to prepare a formal research proposal before embarking on the study in a new setting. Discuss how your team would be leaving itself open to problems by moving ahead with no revised formal study proposal. Explain two problems you might encounter with this approach, and provide a possible solution for each of the problems.

The term "interpersonal aggression" is used to describe an extensive range of actions taken within the context of interpersonal interactions with the intent to cause harm to another person. Any behavior with the intent to cause grief or harm to another person falls under this category, whether it be physical violence, verbal abuse, bullying or something else. The causes, effects and solutions to the problem of interpersonal aggression are the subject of much research in psychology and social sciences.
