April 15, 2024April 15, 2024 Discipline: Psychology

Imagine you are an I/O psychology professional who works for a prestigious state-wide university system. You have been approached by a wealthy and powerful elected official in your state who wants to make a very large monetary donation to your institution. The administration of your university system has expressed their support for his donation. During a meeting with you regarding this donation, he stated that he expects you to influence the university president and administration to create specific programs, to include naming rights for a large new building, as well as support specific legislation he intends to sponsor.

Colleagues within your community inform you that this individual has allegedly been involved with organized crime, has evaded conviction for various alleged crimes, including tax fraud, alleged misuse of campaign fund, and has allegedly placed undue pressure on other elected officials and nonprofit organizations to undertake programs and practices that they deem less than ethical.

As you prepare for a meeting with the administration to discuss your position on this situation, you decide to review the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct and determine if what he has requested violates the legal and ethical codes to which you ascribe.

You decide to prepare a 700-word outline that you will use to explain and defend your decision on whether to recommend acceptance of the donation and the donor’s conditions.

Include the following in your outline:
An explanation of your decision
An explanation of the ethical and legal considerations inherent in the situation that impact your decision
3 General Principles and Ethical Standards from the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct that you used in making your decision about accepting a donation from the individual noted above
An analysis of how and why you believe these elements from the APA document support your decision

Include a minimum of 2 peer-reviewed articles related to the application of legal and ethics to your decision.
