Critically think about ethical research practices with children, older adults, and same-sex couples. Familiarize yourself with Module 8’s objectives, introduction, video, and articles. Use the articles in Module 8 as your primary reference, then use the St Leo Online Library for peer review sources and to find relevance to this week’s topic.
Please share your information with our classmates on this thread.
Questions:
- Older adults are a diverse and vibrant population that, in many ways, is a natural extension of our psychotherapeutic knowledge and skills but also presents some more specialized challenges in the provision of psychological services (Jordan, 2008). What are some ethical considerations to consider when working with older adults? How can these issues be prevented? Which of Saint Leo’s core values are considered when working with older populations?
- Do you agree it’s ethical for children to be involved in research projects? What if children and parents have conflicting opinions about research participation?
