The Ethical Dilemma: How far should Psychologists go in the pursuit of knowledge?
Psychologists continually seek to gain a greater understanding of human behaviour and experience for the benefit of people. Research can be used to control and understand deviant behaviours. It can be applied to many aspects of human life in order to enhance human welfare. Sometimes, however, conducting research on human beings can involved participants being deceived, subjected to a lack of privacy or even subjected to embarrassment, pain and anxiety.
