PSYCHOLOGY - Ethics and Human Subject Research

Ethics and Human Subject Research

Research in psychology is paramount to the field; it is through research that evidence is gathered. Section 2: Competence, of the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (2014) states that it is expected that psychologists understand and know the research in their fields, with particular attention paid to evidence-based interventions.

There is a long history of unethical research that this competency attempts to address. It is easy for researchers to engage in behaviors with potentially serious consequences; stringent ethical compliance is maintained through institutional review boards (also known as human subjects review).
