One of the more important foundations you must understand when working in a doctoral program is ethics in research. The UAGC Institutional Review Board (IRB) ethical guidelines are created to keep participants safe. These guidelines were created in response to historical events and research practices that harmed participants.

Across all ethical guidelines, regardless of discipline, there is a commitment to upholding respect for people, beneficence, and justice. These commitments help to protect those involved with research, balance risks with potential benefits, and promote the responsible advancement of knowledge.

In this discussion, evaluate the Nuremberg Code, the Common Rule, and the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct and respond to the following prompts. Please note: No peer responses are required for this discussion forum.

Assess the overarching principles in the three sets of guidelines that apply to the treatment of human research participants.
Discuss how the guidelines shape not just your research but also your role as a scholar–practitioner and leader.
