How do we know right from wrong, good from bad, help from
hindrance, and how can we judge the behavior of others? Ethics are
the rules and guidelines that we use to make such judgements. Often
there are no clear answers, which make this subject both
interesting and potentially frustrating. In this book the authors
offer readers the opportunity to develop and express their own
opinions in relation to ethics in psychology. There are a number of
famous many psychological studies that appear to have been harmful
or cruel to the people or animals who took part in them. For
example, memory researchers carried out studies on a man who had no
memory for over forty years, but because he had no memory, he was
never able to agree to the studies. Is this a reasonable thing to
do to someone? Comparative psychologist Harry Harlow found that he
could create severe and lasting distress in monkeys by keeping them
in social isolation. Is this a reasonable thing to do even if we
find out useful things about human distress?If you were able to use
psychological techniques to break someone down so that they
revealed information that was useful to your government would you
do it? If so, why and if not, why not? These ethical issues are not
easy to resolve and the debates continue as we encounter new
dilemmas. The book uses many examples of psychological research to
look at key ethical issues ethical guidelines of psychologists
socially sensitive research ethics in applied psychology the use of
animals in research This book will be essential reading for and
undergraduate and pre-undergraduate students studying psychology
and students of other subjects concerned with ethics.
