Beskrivning

This essential resource explains the complexities of research ethics for psychology students, providing a clear understanding of key ethical principles and practical guidance on how to apply them effectively throughout the research process, from application to publication.The book begins with an introduction to ethics, emphasising the significance of ethics through historical context, how this shaped the more contemporary ethical landscape in research, and introducing key principles of ethics. It breaks down relevant policies into simple terms and introduces the BPS Code of Ethics and Conduct, before a thorough dive into maintaining research integrity and implementing inclusion strategies. The authors provide instructions on how to craft an ethics proposal step-by-step, and the approval process, before finishing with a look at publication integrity. The book goes beyond theoretical knowledge, offering practical advice on meeting ethical standards. It includes material on important considerations such as social media, AI, Open Science, DEI/EDI, confidentiality, and working with vulnerable participants.Supported by key terms, summaries and suggestions for further reading, this book empowers psychologists to navigate the ethical landscape of research confidently, responsibly, and legally. For students just starting their academic journey, preparing to submit a research proposal, or working through the research process, Key Standards for Research Ethics in Psychology is an invaluable and accessible guide.
