Ethical Situations in Psychological Research Evaluating Ethics, Consent, Harm, and Responsibility
Science
Grade 9-12
Ethical Situations in Psychological Research challenges students to evaluate realistic research scenarios using APA and IRB ethical principles. Students analyze informed consent, harm, deception, and the treatment of vulnerable populations, then compare cases to determine why some studies are ethically acceptable while others are not. The lesson emphasizes ethical reasoning, not memorization, and mirrors how real research proposals are evaluated.
