The term research subject has sometimes been replaced by the term research participant to convey more respect for those who participate in research studies. As noted by Sieber (1992b:13), however, the term subject "continually reminds the reader that the person being studied typically has less power than the researcher and must be accorded the protections that render this inequality morally acceptable." In the case of research on children, it is highly likely that they will more often be "subjects" than "participants."
