Description
Ethical Issues in Psychology by Philip Banyard and Cara Flanagan explores the complex rules and guidelines that govern our judgments about right and wrong. This book delves into the often difficult questions surrounding ethics in psychology, using real-life examples from psychological research to examine key issues such as ethical guidelines, socially sensitive research, and the use of animals in studies. Psychological studies have sometimes raised concerns about harm or cruelty to participants, highlighting the need for careful consideration and debate. By examining these cases and others, this book aims to encourage readers to develop their own opinions on ethics in psychology. It is an essential resource for undergraduate and pre-undergraduate students of psychology and related subjects such as philosophy and social policy. Through its analysis of psychological research and real-world examples, Ethical Issues in Psychology provides a valuable insight into the complexities of ethical decision-making in the field.
