3-1 Discussion: The Ethics of Classical Research Studies

3-1 Discussion: The Ethics of Classical Research Studies

Review the required module reading. Then conduct research to find a scholarly article chronicling an ethical conflict from a classical experiment in psychology. For example:

● The Clara Cell from World War II ● The obedience experiment by Stanley Milgram in 1961 ● The Stanford prison experiment by Philip Zimbardo in 1971 ● Another classical psychology experiment of your choosing

Using what you have learned, use the following to guide your response:

● Identify and describe both sides of the ethical conflict of the case, independent of what you believe is ethical or not.

● Explain what principles and standards the study would have violated if the research had been subject to the APA’s code of ethics today.
