Discuss ethical considerations related to research studies at the biological level of analysis.
Considerable research has been made that there is a genetic basis in human behaviour. This makes it interesting for Psychologists to investigate our brain much further. To keep it in ethical bounds most psychologists agree to follow the American Psychological Association’s code of ethics since it would not be acceptable to carry out inhumane studies. The APA’s code of ethics general principles are as follows: “Principle A: Beneficence and No maleficence, Principle B: Fidelity and Responsibility, Principle C: Integrity, Principle D: Justice, [and] Principle E: Respect for People's Rights and Dignity” (American Psychological Association).
