Abstract
This chapter explores the ethical issues faced in research that collects and analyses online interaction using the approaches of conversation analysis (CA) and discursive psychology (DP). To do this, this chapter explores four key ethical challenges: (1) public/private distinction, (2) informed consent, (3) anonymity and searchability, and (4) the visibility of going behind the screen. In discussing these challenges, I present cases of good ethical practice from CA/DP studies with the aim of providing researchers examples of how these ethical challenges have been approached in practice. In doing this, this chapter reveals how CA/DP work has found ethical solutions to researching a variety of online interactive spaces and argues for the importance of consistent and transparent reflection on ethical decision making within digital CA/DP publications.
