In this short paper, you will identify and discuss one common reason for unethical decision making among practicing psychology professionals in Industrial/Organizational psychology.
Such reasons include:
Incompetence
Ignorance
Misinformation
Irresponsibility
Vengeance
Lack of boundaries
Tendency to overshare
Once you have established a reason why unethical decision making may occur in your chosen field of psychology, you will identify and discuss one condition under which a professional is more vulnerable to making an unethical decision.
Such conditions include:
Inadequate anticipation
Unavoidable dilemma
Inadequate sources of guidance
Loyalty conflicts
Conflicting ethical principles
Conflicting legal and ethical responsibilities
After identifying and discussing one reason and one condition for unethical decision making, you will find three peer reviewed research articles to further investigate this reason and condition. From your research you will identify a problem of practice at the root of the reason and a problem of practice at the root of the condition. Based on your research, you will propose a strategy to resolve each problem of practice.
Guidelines for Submission: Your paper must be submitted as a 2 page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one inch margins, and at least three sources cited in APA format.
