Psychology Ethics in Everyday Life

Can psychology ethics offer a new platform of moral and ethical leadership in modern society? Are APA ethics standards relevant for individuals across all walks of life and, if so, what stories can be told about the ethical dilemmas that we all face on a daily basis? These questions form the core of this book. Edited by psychologists Sherry Hatcher and Kristine Jacquin with contributions from 10 other authors, the book addresses a wide range of common ethical issues, including confidentiality, multiple relationships, conflicts of interest, sexual and other harassment, informed consent, interference of personal problems, privacy issues, exploitation, plagiarism and unfair discrimination. The book is based on a study of 133 participants across the United States, including firefighters, teachers, law enforcement professionals, taxi drivers, chefs, homemakers, students, physicians, nurses, home caregivers, business professionals, artists and musicians. These participants provided thoughtful and often moving narratives about ethical dilemmas they faced at work or in their personal lives. Especially in an era of increasing social tensions, "Psychology Ethics in Everyday Life" is a highly valuable contribution to helping us understand and resolve the great ethical issues of our time. REVIEWS“This book provides a remarkable guide for understanding how people apply ethical norms at a time when some imagine Americans to be more motivated by self-interest than by considering the ethical impact of their behaviors. The final chapter compellingly explores how these ethical standards illuminate issues brought about by the coronavirus.” Patricia Gurin, Ph.D., Nancy Cantor Distinguished University Professor, Emeritus, University of Michigan.“As an expert in psychology ethics, I found that this book provides a fascinating mirror for psychologists to better appreciate the broader applicability and universality of our fundamental ethical standards.” Erica H. Wise, Ph.D., Director, Psychology Training Clinic of University of North Ca
