Explain the differences between the ethical standards for clients being treated by psychologists in counseling sessions and the standards for conducting psychological research with human participants

Explain the differences between the ethical standards for clients being treated by psychologists in counseling sessions and the standards for conducting psychological research with human participants. The ethical standards for clients being treated by psychologists in counseling sessions stated by the APA (2017) set forth enforceable rules for conduct as a psychologist. As a psychologist, they have an obligation to uphold their role in a professional manner by providing the client with clarification of sessions, not engaging in sexual relationships with clients nor close relatives and informing clients of any interruptions of sessions. Psychologists also have an obligation in therapy roles to inform clients if they would potentially have to take on a conflicting role, like in a divorce proceeding after having been the family therapist. When it comes to doing psychological research with human participants the major difference includes having institutional approval for the research and must provide protection to participants from any adverse consequences (APA, 2017). Psychologists also avoid offering excessive or inappropriate financial inducements for participation that would coerce participation. It is the psychologist’s responsibility to debrief participants with results of the research and correct any misconceptions. Describe the parts of the Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct you expect to relate directly to your future career. Include the section numbers of the parts of the code you discuss.
The parts of the Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct I expect to relate directly to my future career starts with code 3.10 Informed Consent which states that as a psychologist, conducting therapy, or counseling, I would need to obtain the informed consent of the individual(s) using language that is reasonably understandable. Section 4.01 will relate directly to my future career as it covers maintaining confidentiality. I would have an obligation to protect confidential information obtained and know that it may be regulated by law or established by institutional rules (APA,2017). Lastly, Section 10, therapy would relate directly to my future career as it provides all the obligations
involved in holding therapy sessions. Select and provide the number for one ethical requirement that applies specifically to psychological research and briefly summarize the standard. 8.11 Plagiarism which describes that psychologists do not present portions of another’s work or data as their own, even if the other work or data source is cited occasionally (APA, 2017). This principle reiterates that citing and giving credit to the correct owner of the work is highly important and required throughout researchers’ work. Creswell & Creswell (2018) also gives an outline of conducting proper research and citation. Explain why this requirement may not apply to a therapy situation. This requirement may not apply to a therapy situation due to the fact it is for research purposes and the information at some point would be made public.
