evaluate one section (set of enforceable standards) from the APA Ethics Code (Sections 1 through 10)

For this assignment, write your paper with your future job role in mind. Your goal is to analyze the relationship between personal morals and values and the APA professional codes and principles in ethical decision-making. First, choose a specific job role within your specialization, and then choose a Section of enforceable standards to apply to that job role. For example, if your specialization is Industrial and Organizational psychology, you could choose the career role of “consultant.” Then, you could choose the Section on “Privacy and Confidentiality,” and explain how the standards in this section relate to the daily work tasks of someone in that job. You should choose a job and Section most relevant to your career goals.

Future Job Chosen – Forensic Psychologist (must be used for assignment)

In the paper, consider how at least five standards of the identified Section would affect ethical decision-making in that job. For example, if you chose Section 4 on “Privacy and Confidentiality,” then explain how each standard, such as “4.01 Maintaining Confidentiality” and “4.02 Discussing the Limits of Confidentiality,” apply to that job. You will also synthesize the information from the articles and the course readings to support your main ideas in this paper.

Finally, analyze the relationship between your personal values (beliefs, possible biases, morals, etc.) and ethical decision-making in this job role. Make predictions about your personal values and morals in relation to ethical decision-making in this role.

Be sure to address the following in your assignment:

1. What is the chosen job role that will serve as the context for your paper? What are some key job tasks, work related activities, and interactions associated with this job? Explain these as if you were presenting a summary of them to the new employees.
2. Summarize your chosen Section of the Ethics Code. Be sure to address at least five of the standards of that section.
3. How does each standard of the Section relate to typical work-related activities, common dilemmas, and interactions of this job? Provide concrete examples. For example, if you are in Forensic Psychology how does “4.02 Discussing the Limits of Confidentiality” uniquely apply to this role? What challenges would you face?
4. How do your personal values (beliefs, possible biases, morals, etc.) relate to the ethical codes associated with ethical decision-making in your chosen career role? What challenges would you predict about your personal values and morals in relation to ethical decision-making in this role? Are there any ethical issues within your chosen job that are not explicitly covered in the APA Ethics Code?
