Demonstrate understanding of ethical principles in psychological practice in Aotearoa/New Zealand
This standard asks you to understand why psychologists in New Zealand follow ethical principles, and to know what those four main principles are (respect, responsibility, integrity, and justice). You need to show you can describe these principles, explain why they matter, and apply them to real examples from New Zealand psychology contexts.
You describe the four ethical principles and give examples of how they are used in New Zealand psychology.
You explain what each principle is for and what happens when psychologists use them, with examples showing both good and poor application in real situations.
You think deeply about how these principles shape all of psychology in New Zealand, including why they matter uniquely here, and explore the bigger consequences when they are or aren't followed.
