Although it's quite lengthy, the APA site gives detailed explanations of the ethics that are required for psychological research. The information here serves as a good background to the ethics that come up in many of IAs that are students choose.

The American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct provides guidance for psychologists in professional, scientific and educational roles. The Ethics Code also outlines standards of professional conduct for APA members and student affiliates.

Many professional organizations produce an ethical code of conduct. Violations of this code can result in the loss of license and professional membership. Exposing students to these codes helps them understand the seriousness and importance of ethical conduct.

The American Psychological Association's (APA) Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (hereinafter referred to as the Ethics Code) consists of an Introduction, a Preamble, five General Principles and specific Ethical Standards. The Introduction discusses the intent, organization, procedural considerations and scope of application of the Ethics Code. The Preamble and General Principles are aspirational goals to guide psychologists toward the highest ideals of psychology. Although the Preamble and General Principles are not themselves enforceable rules, they should be considered by psychologists in arriving at an ethical course of action. The Ethical Standards set forth enforceable rules for conduct as psychologists. Most of the Ethical Standards are written broadly, in order to apply to psychologists in varied roles, although the application of an Ethical Standard may vary depending on the context. The Ethical Standards are not exhaustive. The fact that a given conduct is not specifically addressed by an Ethical Standard does not mean that it is necessarily either ethical or unethical.

_Five principles for research ethics

Not that long ago, academicians were often cautious about airing the ethical dilemmas they faced in their research and academic work, but that environment is changing today. Psychologists in academe are more likely to seek out the advice of their colleagues on issues ranging from supervising graduate students to how to handle sensitive research data, says George Mason University psychologist June Tangney, PhD.

APA announcement in 2015 about banning participation by psychologists in national security interrogations

APA's Council of Representatives voted almost unanimously to prohibit psychologists from participating in national security interrogations. Its resolution states that psychologists "shall not conduct, supervise, be in the presence of, or otherwise assist any national security interrogations for any military or intelligence entities, including private contractors working on their behalf, nor advise on conditions of confinement insofar as these might facilitate such an interrogation."

I am comparing and contrasting the IB and APA National Standards for High School Curriculum, looking for differences, similarities, and possible overlap. The following is the APA description attached to this URL: "In addition to setting forth learning objectives for high school psychology students, this document provides guidance for teaching based on active learning principles and recommendations for student learning assessment. This document is constructed to guide curriculum decisions by providing content and performance standards to guide teachers in designing instruction."

The APA website has always been helpful for me when trying to plan supplemental and investigative assignments for my students.

This provides students with access to basic information related to topics in psychology, careers, etc.

This site is for searching further information. It contains a lot of links to theories, articles, experiments, history, and also lots of recourses for further reading. This one can be quite helpful for student assignments.

Provides APA Style guidelines on formatting bibliographies and reference lists.
