Analysis of Ethical Dilemma PSY/610 Introduction It is important for psychologists and other professionals to demonstrate ethical behavior when working with clients/patients, students, and colleagues. Unfortunately ethical behavior is not always applied in situations where it is appropriate and as a result those individuals on the receiving end are treated unfairly. This paper will attempt to confront a situation where two graduate assistants are receiving unethical treatment from a researcher who is currently leading the three studies they are working on.

Ethical Considerations Thinking before we act or speak is crucial while in the workplace.

Ethical standards are the code of conduct required by the organization for workers to follow.

The Merriam Webster dictionary defines ethics as the discipline dealing with what is good and bad and with moral duty and obligation. Therefore, making an ethical decision requires an individual to evaluate what is good or bad and the moral duty and obligation to society. The good and bad are defined by societal norms and one’s moral duty is based upon an agreed set of rules, which govern human behavior. However, making an ethical decision often requires a much more in depth analysis of the situation and the possible outcomes.
