Standard 3
It is all about protecting the rights and well-being of people participating in psychological research or therapy.
Informed Consent: This means researchers or therapists must explain all the details about their study or treatment to the people involved before they agree to take part. It's like making sure everyone knows what they're getting into and can decide if they want to participate or not.
Confidentiality: Psychologists have to keep everything they learn about people during research or therapy private. It's like a promise that what you share stays between you and your psychologist unless there's a really good reason to share it, like if someone's safety is at risk.
Debriefing: After a study or therapy session, psychologists need to talk with the participants about what happened. It's like a follow-up chat where they explain more about the study or treatment and make sure everyone's okay with how things went.
