Ethics, Unit 3 discussion
Unit III. Professional Ethics, State Laws, and Board of Psychology Rules, governing Psychological Research
Introduction
This section involves the examination of ethical issues that may arise in the course of conducting psychological research. The selected reading provides a topography of the stages of research that include conceptualization, problem selection, research design, sample population, data collection, data analysis, and presentation of results. The readings introduce students to the federal and state agencies charged with regulatory oversight of psychological research, their organization, and administrative procedures. Ethical issues common in the conduct of psychological research are underscored along with the protections afforded to human participants and the public interest.
Chapters from Beauchamp et al. (1982), though out of print, serve as the principal source of selected essays covering: the regulatory context, IRB system, types of harm in social science research, limits of inquiry, deception and honesty, privacy and confidentiality, and methods resolving privacy problems. The unit also requires students to review the Saybrook Institutional Review Board policies and procedures. While the Beauchamp text is currently out of print, these chapter essays maybe found in the revised Course Reader (Spring 2005). New texts on the ethics of social science research, covering this spectrum of issues, are under review for adoption in this course.
