Question: 1
The APA’s ethical principles consist of ten broad standards that guide
psychologists in their various professional roles. These standards have been
discussed in your course. You are required to:
• Identify which category of the APA’s human relations code has been
violated.
• Provide Justification for your assessment.
Please Record your answers in the table given below.
Answer:
1 - Scenario:
Dr. Miller has been treating a patient for several months and is making
good progress. However, when the patient recently disclosed their sexual
orientation during a therapy session. The psychologist, started treating the
patient differently, displaying discomfort and making judgmental remarks
about their sexual orientation.
Violation:
Prejudice and Bias
Justification:
Psychologists are expected to uphold respect and avoid discrimination based
on sexual orientation. Dr. Miller's change in behavior, discomfort, and
judgmental remarks towards the patient's sexual orientation signify
prejudice and bias, violating the ethical principle of respecting individual
differences and avoiding discriminatory practices.
2 - Scenario:
Sania has a client who has severe depression and has been expressing
suicidal thoughts during therapy sessions. However, she does not take
appropriate steps to ensure the client's safety.
Violation:
Duty to Protect
Justification:
Psychologists have a professional obligation to take appropriate steps to
protect and ensure the safety of their clients, especially when there are
expressed suicidal thoughts. Sania's failure to act in safeguarding the
client’s safety violates the ethical principle that mandates psychologists
to prioritize the well-being and protection of their clients.
3 - Scenario:
Stanley Milgram's obedience experiment involved deceiving participants into
believing they were administering harmful electric shocks to others.
Although participants weren't causing real harm, the study caused severe
psychological distress to many of them.
Violation:
Informed Consent and Avoiding Harm
Justification:
The experiment's lack of informed consent and causing severe distress to
participants without their full understanding of the potential harm violates
the ethical principle of informed consent and avoiding inflicting
psychological harm. Even though no physical harm was intended, the distress
experienced by the participants constitutes a breach of ethical
standards.
4 - Scenario:
Dr. Andrew Wakefield published a study suggesting a link between the MMR
vaccine and autism. It was later revealed that he had been involved in a
lawsuit against vaccine manufacturers.
Violation:
Conflict of Interest
Justification:
The undisclosed conflict of interest - being involved in a lawsuit against
vaccine manufacturers while conducting a study on vaccine safety - violates
the ethical standard of disclosing potential conflicts of interest. Dr.
Wakefield's failure to reveal this conflict undermines the credibility and
integrity of the research findings.
5 - Scenario:
The CIA conducted a series of experiments involving mind control, which
included the use of hallucinogenic drugs on unwitting participants, who were
not fully informed about the nature of the experiments.
Violation:
Lack of Informed Consent and Avoiding Harm
Justification:
The experiments conducted by the CIA, involving mind control and the
administration of hallucinogenic drugs without full disclosure to
participants, violated the ethical principle of informed consent.
Additionally, the use of such substances without participants' full
understanding subjected them to potential psychological harm, breaching the
ethical guideline of avoiding harm to individuals.
