Principle E: Respect for People’s Rights and Dignity

 

 

Psychology students need the ability to create informed consent and debriefing forms that adequately state the purpose of studies to the participants in an ethical manner. In your capstone class (your last class), it is an expectation that you have a created a consent and debriefing form for your research proposal. It could be beneficial if you create this assignment around the topic you would like to research.
Before you begin the assignment, view the APA website and read the ethics listings.
Principle E: Respect for People’s Rights and Dignity
Psychologists respect the dignity and worth of all people, and the rights of individuals to privacy, confidentiality, and self-determination. Psychologists are aware that special safeguards may be necessary to protect the rights and welfare of persons or communities whose vulnerabilities impair autonomous decision making. Psychologists are aware of and respect cultural, individual, and role differences, including those based on age, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, language, and socioeconomic status, and consider these factors when working with members of such groups. Psychologists try to eliminate the effect on their work of biases based on those factors, and they do not knowingly participate in or condone activities of others based upon such prejudices.
Using the GCU Library, research consent and debriefing forms. Locate two to four scholarly resources to support your form.
Create an informed consent form and a debriefing form that explains the nature and true purpose of the study (students may adapt the examples from the textbook Gregory J. Privitera Research Methods for the Behavioral Sciences. Third Edition, see pages 65-66). Be sure to cite your sources at the conclusion of the document.
