社会和行为科学家越来越多地使用Facebook来招募研究参与者。考虑到不断变化的社交媒体环境，考虑使用这种策略的道德原则是很重要的。这篇方法学文章的目的是(a)根据贝尔蒙特报告的道德原则（尊重个人，慈善和正义）检查Facebook招聘，(b)描述Facebook招聘可能面临的道德挑战，以及(c)为有兴趣采用这种招聘方法的研究人员提供建议。Facebook招聘中固有的道德挑战包括公平选择受试者、隐私和数据安全。总的来说，Facebook是一个招募参与者参与研究的有益资源；然而，研究人员需要意识到他们在保护人类受试者方面的责任。
Social and behavioral scientists increasingly use Facebook to recruit research participants. Given the everchanging social media landscape, it is important to consider the ethical principles of using such a strategy. The aims of this methodological article are to (a) examine Facebook recruitment in light of the ethical principles of the Belmont Report (respect for persons, beneficence, and justice), (b) describe ethical challenges that may be faced in Facebook recruitment, and (c) provide recommendations for researchers interested in adopting this recruitment method. Ethical challenges inherent in Facebook recruitment include selecting subjects fairly, privacy, and data security. Overall, Facebook is a beneficial resource for recruiting participants into research; however, researchers need to be aware of their responsibility in protecting human subjects.
