Discussion 1.2

Is it ethical for psychologists to deceive research participants on the methods and objectives of their research? What are ways that protect subjects from participation in experiments that might be harmful to them?   Things to discuss are: informed consent, human subjects committee, APA guidelines for ethics with animals and human subjects and subject debriefment. Similarly, why are double blind experiments done?  

Below is a short you tube video that discusses the concept of ethics and psychology.  It references many experiments that we will discuss this semester.  Although we learned a great deal from these, today they would be deemed unethical.  Is it wrong to learn and teach about concepts we have learned from unethical research?

Discussion 5.2

 Intrinsic motivation is when we are motivated by internal factors and the rewards are internal like joy or satisfaction.  Extrinsic motivation is when we are motivated by external factors like a grade or money.  Research has shown that when those who are originally motivated by internal factors begin to receive external rewards, their motivation diminishes.  For example, a person who paints suddenly gets a job to paint portraits for money, and they start to dislike painting.  What motivates you in your life?

Discussion 6.2

Note the infamous statement made by Watson: “Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I’ll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select—doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and, yes, even into beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations and race of his ancestors.” The source can be found at Watson, J.B. (1926). What the Nursery Has to Say about Instincts. In C. Murchison (Ed.), Psychologies of 1925 (pp. 1–34). Worchester, MA: Clark University Press
