purposes. The interviewer has selected the setting and location of the interview. As a

token of gratitude, the individual received a nuisance fee and a present.

ETHICAL CONSIDERATION

Beneficence and Nonmaleficence- Data collection was performed through interviews;

thus, the researchers chose and classified the participant on the basis of their desire
and were not forced to participate in the study. Nonetheless, the researcher was asked

some questions that are important and necessary to the needs of the research.

Ultimately, the researchers have ensured the safety and security of the participant befor

e and after the test.

Fidelity and Responsibility- During the interview, the researchers used questions that

were used correctly. In addition, the researchers challenged the individual to

demonstrate good leadership, dignity and formality.

Integrity- It is perhaps the most important principle of a research and dependent

on integrity because it demands truthfulness and honesty. The data that was obtained

was complete and accurate, and there were no modifications to the details at all.

Justice- This offers some predictability for events outside our control, so that we can

plan our lives and live with some peace of mind.

It's all fair and not all sides of the study support anything or anyone.

Respects for People’s Rights and Dignity- All information collected from the

individual were kept confidential.
