Ethics Article

Assignment 5

List one item (from the Talk section if appropriate) identifying a problem or issue with the article. Cite two references that do not already appear in the article's reference list that contain information relevant to this article. These must be legitimate publications - published books or journal articles. Web pages (including other Wikipedia articles) do not count. List two questions or comments for me regarding the article. I will address these on the Talk page of your sandbox.

Brandon's List

– Problem: 

    –the article does not yet exist.

– Two References: 

    – Ethics and Society: Ethical analysis and new sfrom the Fordham University Center for Ethics Education [1]
    – Ethics in Psychology [2]

– Questions or Comments: 

    – none yet, will update as I proceed.

Sam's List

- Problem:

  • The articles that exist now only relate to a general "code of ethics" or something similar and frankly do not do that great of a job even for those topics.

- References:

  • Ethics Code, APA (this needs to be cited correctly, I could not figure out how to cite an article from an encyclopedia) [3]
  • Essential Ethics for Psychologists [4]

- Questions/Comments:

  • How far away from APA should we stray for resources for this topic?
  • How do you know when you might have "too much" in an article and think we should maybe break things into separate articles. For example if we wanted to break things into clinical ethics and research ethics?

--Samantha.myhre (talk) 04:15, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Brittany's List

Problem: The article does not exist.
References:

  • APA's website on practice ethics[5]
  • APA's website on research ethics[6]
  • One of the links Jim sent us.[7] This may be dated enough to serve as part of our history (1992); we'll have to determine that upon delving in.

Two questions or comments:

  • There is a very complete general "Ethics" page that we should add a blurb to, as well as a link to our page. Someone had already proposed adding a brief psychology and/or research section on the talk page of this article, and I replied mentioning that we could link to our main article and just put our lead on the main Ethics page or something brief.
  • I am wondering how much emphasis is warranted on each ethics in practice and research, and whether these two should be synthesized in one article (perhaps titled "Ethics in Psychology") or if these should be separated into two articles.

Britty5096 (talk) 12:58, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

David's list

Problem: The article does not currently exist. Ethics in psychological research may partially exist in other pages.

References:

  • The Belmont Report[8]
  • Federalwide Assurance (FWA) for the Protection of Human Subjects[9]

Questions/comments:

  • There is already a Wikipedia article about institutional review boards. It is obviously not exhaustive, but, to avoid too much overlap, I think we should focus this new article on ethics in psychological clinical practice, like what Sam suggested. This focused article could then more deeply investigate and report on the steps APA has taken to establish a modern code of ethics.
  • Our current starting place may possibly be ethnocentric in that it is focused almost exclusively on ethics in psychology in the U.S. Does APA have global influence? Should we instead specify that this is a regional description of ethics in psychology?

Dareichenberger (talk) 18:07, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tharaki's List

- Problem: There is no specific article on the ethics code for Psychology (Research and Practice) but just a few articles mentioning professional ethics in general (not specific to Psychology).

- References:

Changes in ethics code in 2002 [10]

Historical perspective [11]

Ethical principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct [12]

- Questions/Comments:

The ethics code includes five general principle and ten ethical standards. To what extent should we discuss these, since there is a lot of detail under each of these? Is it necessary that we address each and every standard?

The ethics code has been revised a number of times. Should each of these changes be addressed in the article or only the changes that we think are significant?

I guess we'll need to choose exactly which of our 5 different outlines/layouts we would like to go with in order to know exactly what work there is to divide, but regardless of the exact layout, I'm sure we'll have some sort of controversies section, right? I offer to work on some of the current and past ethical controversies, including the ones I listed in my outline, but of course I am open to suggestions about what to include in that section.
Britty5096 (talk) 02:05, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I included this above, but I would like to work on the history of the ethical code if possible. Or at the least the where it got started portion. Samantha.myhre (talk) 05:34, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to take the part on the current Ethic code,if that is OK with the others. TJS1989 (talk) 18:09, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I will accept the responsibility of writing up the general principles and contributing to the lead and any other parts that need help. I plan to reduce each principle to its core statement(s). I'm not sure how lengthy these will be but I will try to make sure they are adequately representative of the principle. Dareichenberger (talk) 19:42, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
