Area of Science:

  • Community Psychology
  • Educational Psychology
  • Social Justice Research

Background:

  • Community psychologists often work with marginalized groups, navigating complex power dynamics.
  • Ethical practice requires balancing solidarity with potential harm, especially when stakeholders have conflicting interests.
  • Previous research highlights the importance of ethical considerations in community psychology (Balcazar et al., 2004; Nelson et al., 2001; O'Neill, 1989).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the ethical dilemmas faced by community psychologists when research initiatives may inadvertently harm the community.
  • To examine how power imbalances between stakeholders (e.g., school administration vs. students) create ethical challenges.
  • To investigate the influence of psychologist identity on ethical decision-making within community projects.

Main Methods:

  • A 2-year qualitative research project involving a Latinx Student Union at a public middle school.
  • Analysis of ethical dilemmas arising from changes in research goals by powerful stakeholders without low-power stakeholder consent.
  • Narrative inquiry to explore the psychologist's experience and decision-making process.

Main Results:

  • Significant ethical conflicts emerged when school administration altered research objectives without student consent.
  • The psychologist's identity and role influenced the navigation of these ethical compromises.
  • Decisions to continue or withdraw from the project were fraught with ethical considerations regarding community well-being.

Conclusions:

  • Community psychologists must critically assess power dynamics and potential harm in research collaborations.
  • Maintaining ethical integrity requires constant negotiation, especially when institutional goals diverge from community needs.
  • The study underscores the complexities of ethical community psychology practice, particularly concerning identity and solidarity.
