Ethical Considerations in Research
Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read the articles by Colnerud (2013), Brief Report: Ethical Problems in Research Practice, and by Maschke (2008), Human Research Protections: Time for Regulatory Reform?
Then, review the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct
( https://www.apa.org/ethics/code/ ).
In your initial post,
Summarize the guidelines stipulated in Section 8 of the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct for research with human participants.
Analyze how these guidelines would apply to a study on your topic of interest or research focus.
Review the insights you developed about ethical challenges facing researchers and explain how these ethical challenges would apply if you were to conduct a research study on your topic of interest or research focus.
