Introduction
Ethical standards of scientific research require psychologists to be devoted, professional and knowledgeable on situations concerning individuals, organizations, and communities. Psychologists perform the roles as administrators, educators, and researchers have the obligation to respect, safeguard civil and human rights; further expanding their knowledge on creativity and innovation in publication, observation, and teaching. There are eight ethical guidelines this paper will address, which are (a) informed consent, (b) privacy and confidentiality, (c) data handling and reporting, (d) mistakes and negligence, (e) plagiarism, (f) risk assessment, (g) working with a Mentor, and (h) the Northcentral University Institutional Review …show more content…
Informed consent is defined by Sherlock and Brownie (2014) as informed information on the alternatives, benefits, process, purpose, and risk of a proposed assessment, research, or intervention allowing the individual to decide whether to freely volunteer or not in observed activities. Before collecting data analysis in my study, respondents will be notified on four perspectives, the research’s application, process, purpose, and benefits for the study. This approach will help generate a relationship between the respondents and the observer creating a proficient knowledge on agreeable terms prior to observation (Abaunza & Romero, 2014). Informed consent is an important element of the ethical code of conduct and participating in any assessment or conducting research is paramount to consent using simple words to gain respondents’ awareness on the project. APA (2010) pointed out that informed consent protect or safeguard respondents from consequences for …show more content…
NAP (2009) asserted that the advance knowledge in research is pushed to the limit where data collecting can be complex and confusing. NAP (2009) continued that observers have limited time or access to resources where mistakes and negligence are prone to occur in the design of the experiment, the instruments, recording of data, outcome of the study, or other areas within the research. A reliable researcher, according to NAP (2009) can make mistakes in their research, which is caused by human error. Human errors are made in academic and medical arenas and countless of honest mistakes are happening due to negligence. However, researchers and professionals are obligated to follow the ethical principles in methods and practices to mitigate mistakes and reduce human error. NAP (2009) pointed out that countless of mistakes can lead to violating ethical code of conduct where the researcher reputation, their research, and public’s trust is at risk. During the dissertation process I will take the necessary steps in deviating mistakes and negligence in my study by (a) continuing to follow the ethical principles of psychologists and code of conduct, (b) writing down the mistake using a notebook so that it can be detected and corrected earlier in the study, and (c) ensuring that the research questions are
