PSY 475 Week 5 Individual Assignment, Issues in Psychological
Testing Worksheet
Using the text for this course, the University Library, the Internet, and/or other resources answer the
following questions. Your response to each question should be at least 200 words in length.
1. What are at least two ethical issues associated with psychological testing? What impact do these
issues have on the field of psychological testing?




Psychology is an area that gives creativeness and out the box thinking. When
analyzing the mind, how it acts, why it works and the component that cause
malfunction drastic amounts are sometimes expected. Pioneers such as B.F. Skinner
and Philip G. Zimbardo forced experimental bounds until the innovation of the
ethics board for psychology. Skinner was notorious for the Skinner box which
deported electrical shocks to rats. In one case the rat had electrodes connected to
its brain that caused its pleasure receptors. The rat was essentially shocking itself
for the delight (Eckart, 2007). Zimbardo used citizenry in a prison study, in which
subjects are divided into two parts: guards and inmates. Since both parties became
so plunged within their roles that they blank out it was an experiment and not real
life (Zimbardo, Maslach & Haney) so the test was cut short.
After the establishment of the ethic board for psychology or the American
Psychological Association and its Ethical rules of Psychologists and cypher of
conduct the exercises of Skinner, Zimbardo and former like them was disallowed.
This code of acquit has many planning’s but just two will be covered. First, no
matter is to be harmed physically or mentally. Any tests carried are foreclosed to
leave enduring negative impacts on the contents. Second, involvement in
experiments is volunteer and the contents can stop at any time. No contents will be
endangered for breaking the experiment (American Psychological Association,
2011).
These precautions are not just for the wellness of the contents but also for the
well- making up of experimenters and institutor. Before these guideposts lawsuits
were unquestionably a constituent. Now since possibility has been reduced because
the contents now called volunteers are capable to quite at any period and they are
not allowed to be wounded.
