Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct.Discuss

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the Fisher (2009) article, Replacing Who is the Client? With a Different Ethical Question and the APAs Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct: Including 2010 Amendments (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. paying special attention to standard 3.11.

Informed consent is an important ethical component of research and practice. It is not, however, always sufficient or appropriate for consulting, program evaluation, job effectiveness assessment, or other psychological services delivered to or through organizations because it does not always address all the necessary elements of a given situation. These facts do not negate our responsibility as psychology professionals to inform clients and those who may be impacted by our services. In the discussion you will address these issues through the following case study.

You are an industrial organizational (I/O) psychologist and have been hired to evaluate a companys Work From Home policy to see if it has increased company production. In addition to a review of the employee records, the evaluation needs to include interviews with supervisors and employees on the value and limits of the policy. Since informed consent as typically considered in clinical, counseling, and research settings will not be sufficient in this instance, you will need to inform all supervisors and employees about your services.

In your initial post, briefly analyze and define who the client is in this case study. Assess your professional role as the I/O psychologist and your responsibility to the client as defined. Apply the APAs Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to this scenario, specifically addressing what information should be provided to all supervisors and employees. Explain how you would disseminate this information and ensure understanding amongst all stakeholders. Elaborate on how you would establish trust with the employees, protect employee identities, and ensure the results are used in an ethical manner.

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful and interactive discourse in this discussion.

Transition to siblinghood

After a thorough reading of Chapter Three with a focus on the section on siblings, reflect upon the challenges for families when a new member is added. The child may join the family through birth, adoption, or remarriage/cohabitation. Next you will read the article, Family Transitions Following the Birth of a Sibling: An Empirical Review of Changes in the Firstborns Adjustment (Volling, 2012). Vollings article provides a thorough overview of the Transition to Siblinghood.

With the information from both the text and the article, consider how you may design and administer a new siblings program for the children at your early childhood setting. The program attendees would be only children with a new sibling on the way.

For your post, discuss how you would create such a program. Keep in mind the guidance from the text and Vollings (2012) article, giving evidence of your reading. In two to three substantial paragraphs, address the following:

How long would the program last and who would facilitate the program?
What information would you provide?
What activities would your program offer?
