Useful share on the broader implications of ethics. Certainly in the last 70 years, ethics has come on to involve every branch of science as well as psychology.
In terms of psychological research, one now needs to seek approval from an organisation such as the BPS or APA before engaging on any experiment.
While these are the ultimate aims, and even if research or individuals fall short sometimes of the gold standard, the fact that modern research even acknowledges these ethical considerations must be thought a victory of sorts.
Great share
