Topic 9.6
Why could a psychological experiment employing aggression as a tool be considered ethically questionable?
There is no scientific basis for studying aggression in psychology experiments.
It may inflict emotional or physical harm on participants.
Such an experiment would be too difficult to carry out practically.
Aggressive behaviors are universally accepted in research contexts.
