How Ethics Differ in Research and Therapeutic Practice
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.in its entirety, paying special attention to standards 8 and 10 that cover ethics in research and therapeutic practice. Oftentimes research methods courses discuss the ethics of research and focus on historic examples of unethical research studies. This discussion of ethics will involve a different focus. The Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. presents information on ethical standards and expectations that apply to specific situations, including therapy and research. Explain the differences between the ethical standards for clients being treated by psychologists in counseling sessions and the standards for conducting psychological research with human participants. Consider your future career in the field of psychology and describe the parts of the Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. you expect to relate directly to your future career. Select and provide the number for one ethical requirement that applies specifically to psychological research and briefly summarize the standard.

- What suggestions might you make to your colleague in terms of ethical standards which would apply to this career path?
- Do you concur with your colleague’s choice of ethical standard that applies specifically to psychological research?
- If so, why? If not, what standards might you suggest your colleague consider that apply specifically to research?
