Discussion
Which of the following are the ethical practice(s) observed while using psychological tests ?
(1) Maintaining the test results confidential.
(2) Obtaining informed consent from participants.
(3) Communicating test results to adults only.
Codes :
Answer: C
The ethical practices are (1) and (2).
Ethical codes for testing require psychologists to keep test results confidential, releasing them only to people with a legitimate right to them (1), and to obtain informed consent from test takers, explaining the purpose, nature and use of the testing before it begins (2).
Statement (3) is not an ethical principle. Test takers, including adolescents and children in a suitable form, have a right to feedback on their results, and the rule is to communicate results in a way the person can understand, not to tell adults only. So the options including (3) are wrong.
