Chose a psychological researcher that you believe has done some unethical things in their research.\u00a0 Bear in mind that their research may have taken place before research standards were clarified and enforced.\u00a0 Their methodology may have led to the development of ethical principles.\u00a0 You can choose any researcher, though some likely candidates are listed below:
Stanley Milgram, John B. Watson, B. F. Skinner, Martin Seligman, Phillip Zimbardo, the \u201cMonster Study\u201d
Give specific examples of the researcher\u2019s unethical behavior and for each example identify which ethical principle may have been violated.\u00a0Start with an explanation of your researcher\u2019s topic and methodology then specify how he\/she violated ethical principles. \u00a0Finally, make suggestions on how to improve their work.\u00a0 Design a research study that may get at some of the same information while not violating ethical standards.
Your critical thinking essay should be 2-5 pages long with a 12-point font.
The following rubric will be used for grading.\u00a0\u00a0
