AP Psychology
The APA Ethics Code refers to a set of guidelines and standards developed by the American Psychological Association (APA) that outlines ethical principles and rules for psychologists to follow in their professional practice.
The APA Ethics Code does not stem from one particular psychological theory but encompasses principles supported by the professional and scientific community, reflecting a commitment to ethical practice across various theoretical orientations.
While there are no specific studies that directly resulted in the APA Ethics Code, it is informed by decades of research on professional conduct, ethical dilemmas, decision-making processes, and the impact of unethical behavior in psychology and related fields.
