As the websites name implies, a simple guide to ethics for the IA

Good but lots of adds

Ethics refers to the correct rules of conduct necessary when carrying out research. We have a moral responsibility to protect research participants from harm. However important the issue under investigation psychologists need to remember that they have a duty to respect the rights and dignity of research participants.

_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.

This site will help you keep up-to-date with the latest psychology research. You could find some experimental studies that can be replicated, but that's not so easy and you might have to do quite a lot of searching.

For some reason I think this didn't work the first time! This website is The British Psychological Society's blog. It is called "Research Digest: Blogging on brain and behaviour", and it reports on current research papers. As a sample of their attention-grabbing research posts, there are such titles as "The Psychology of Facebook, Digested" (Social Anxiety) and "10 Hellish Psychology Studies You'll Be Glad Not To Have Participated In" (Research Ethics). It seems like a great site to spark student interest into a variety of relevant research topics in a "digestible" way.

One of the first websites I came across when looking for resources; Haven't stopped using it since. Perfect for practicing to write research summaries!

Information about research, all with open access. Nice to check out when the students are learning about researching.

Brief and includes some information specific to the university psychology program.

Researchers must deal ethically and responsibly with all research participants, to ensure that their experience with psychological research is a positive one. The American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles in the Conduct of Research with Human participants (1981) includes the following obligations in its list of professional responsibilities.

In the past, researchers performed all kinds of questionable experiments in the name of science. For example, in one famous experiment, psychologist Stanley Milgram led his subjects to believe that they were giving painful electric shocks to other people. Many people consider this experiment unethical because it caused the subjects emotional discomfort. Today, researchers must abide by basic ethical norms when conducting research. Most important, they must consider whether they might harm their human or animal subjects while doing research. Ethics Ethics refers to a system of moral values or the way people distinguish right from wrong. The American Psychological Association (APA) requires all its members to adhere to its code of ethics, which applies to the treatment of both humans and animals.

Topics in BPS research digest can help to inspire thinking around the application of psychological theories and concepts.

The Research Digest is a monthly news blog in which current research is summarized.

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.

Extracts from this document... Introduction 1. * Discuss ethical considerations in qualitative research. * Discuss ethical considerations related to research studies at the biological level of analysis. * Discuss ethical considerations in research into genetic influences on behaviour. * Discuss ethical considerations related to research studies at the cognitive level of analysis.

When you do research work, you become part of a larger effort to understand the world and make it a better place. Research on human beings comes with special responsibilities. In the United States, we have ethical standards for research on human beings. Ethical standards help us decide the right and moral ways to act.

Martin Hagger is Professor of Psychology at Curtin University. His areas of expertise are social, health, sport and exercise psychology. He is involved in numerous research projects nationally and internationally with a focus on motivation and behaviour change. He is currently leading projects in drugs in sport, promoting physical activity and healthy diet, understanding the mechanisms of willpower and self-control, and reducing binge drinking and the prevalence of smoking. At the highest level, athletes are well-matched in terms of their physical abilities, conditioning, and skill level. But often that is not enough to win and perform on the biggest of stages like the Olympic games. Developing strategies and techniques to get athletes minds in the best possible condition for optimal performance is increasingly important for sports teams and coaches. Martin will provide an overview of the kinds of techniques that elite athletes use to prepare psychologically for their sport, give details of the scientific research into these techniques and how they work, and how the techniques might be used by competitive athetes and coaches to maximise performance.

Application of ethics in actual research, and its implications

Great new research for localization of function! and brain imaging: Researchers reveal that human brain has at least 180 different regions, confirming the existence of 83 known regions and adding 97 new ones

I find this website to be beneficial for various reasons. First of all, it is easily navigable and the interface is simple. Secondly, it has the learning outcomes listed for students. Third of all, students have access to many research studies that they can consult with, especially when looking at whether the research studies support or negate existing theory.

Great website (especially for students)! It consist the topics of BLOA, CLOA, SCLOA, Abnormal Psy. Learning Outcomes and Research Studies can be found in one place. The site is also well designed with letter coding (e.g. A:aim, P:procedure)

This website looks helpful because it gives the key research studies for each of the levels of analysis.
