Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct

The APA has created a set of principles and a code of conduct that are applicable across disciplines and domains in psychology. Underpinning this code is a set of ethical concepts that will help you understand your responsibilities as a professional in the field of psychology: competence, informed consent, privacy and confidentiality, and avoiding harm. The BACB also has a set of ethical principles that are specific to behavior analysts. To familiarize yourself with these principles in preparation for this week’s discussion, complete the following:

Review Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct on the APA’s website.
Review Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts from the BACB (only required for ABA specialization learners).
Locate additional ethical standards related to your discipline in psychology. For help locating this information, read the Researching Ethics and Standards for Professional Practice in Psychology library guide.

It is important to understand that these are actual, real life events that happened and that have ethical issues. Then review this week’s readings on ethical principles, standards, and codes of conduct. Consider also the questions and information from your professional interview.
