APA ethical principles
Ethical Principles of Psychology and Code of Conduct (2002). Psychologists aspire to maintain the highest ethical standards in their clinical practice of psychology, psychological research and teaching. The
preamble sets forth the context within which psychologists approach ethical issues. The
general principles of beneficence and nonmaleficence, fidelity and responsibility, integrity, justice and respect for people's rights and dignity apply to all that psychologists do as psychologists. The standards that address psychological research specifically are enumerated in
standard 8, research and publication. These standards guide the research of students and faculty in the psychology discipline at St. Norbert College.
