Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Ethics
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Current ethics codes in psychological practice often lack sufficient developmental orientation.
  • The American Psychological Association (APA) ethics code is a prominent example that requires examination for developmental sensitivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the developmental sensitivity of the APA ethics code.
  • To propose recommendations for enhancing the developmental orientation of ethical principles in psychology.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the APA ethics code in comparison to developmentally-attuned principles.
  • Consultation with the ethics code of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
  • Development of revised ethical principles and meta-principles, prioritizing children and youth.

Main Results:

  • The current APA ethics code demonstrates a lack of developmental sensitivity.
  • Revised principles include life preservation, caring beneficence/nonmaleficence, relational integrity, respect for dignity and rights, and promoting justice.
  • Proposed meta-principles focus on responsibility, personhood, participation, theory, and meta-theory.

Conclusions:

  • The APA ethics code needs significant revision to adequately address developmental considerations.
  • Implementing developmentally-targeted principles and meta-principles is crucial for ethical psychological work with diverse populations, especially children and adolescents.
