The APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct outline the code of ethics for psychologists. There are general ethical principles that should be considered in research design. In the discussion this week, our goal is to identify and raise potential ethical concerns for conducting research methods in social sciences. In this discussion, you will examine one of APA's general principles or one section of the Code of Conduct. Explain the impact of the principle or code on research participants or the misuse of research findings in the public. Provide at least one example (either from the literature or generate one yourself) of how the misuse or absence of the principle/code could negatively impact participants or the public. Please include an explanation of the ethical principal and why it is important for researchers to uphold ethical principles.
