Study Notes
Ethics in Psychology of Technology Research
- Research ethics in psychology of technology involve general psychological ethics plus technology-specific concerns.
- General guidelines are provided by institutions like APA, HHS regulations, NIH, Canadian Psychological Association, and British Psychological Society.
- Essential ethical procedures in any psychological research include informed consent and debriefing.
- Informed consent ensures participants understand the experiment before agreeing.
- Debriefing provides feedback post-experiment, explaining goals and any deception.
- The Milgram experiment, famous for its ethical implications, is rarely replicated today due to ethics concerns.
Technology-Specific Ethical Concerns
- Psychologists involved in technology development should maintain objectivity by avoiding socializing with the development team to provide unbiased evaluation.
- Technology use brings ethical concerns regarding privacy and surveillance.
- Examples like Google Glass raise concerns about unknown psychological effects of technology.
Operational Psychology
- Operational psychology applies psychology's knowledge & methods to issues in applied settings, studying human-tool interactions.
- It helps understand how technology impacts humans in practical situations (e.g. clinical, industrial, law enforcement).
- Roots in the 1940s, OSS and combating effectiveness.
Types of Operational Psychology
- Collaborative operational psychology is less problematic than adversarial operational psychology, especially under high-risk contexts.
- Adversarial psychology can be ethically problematic in high-risk settings.
- Researchers need to adhere to informed consent regarding potential harm, free action plans/harm avoidance, and access for all stakeholders in collaborative studies to avoid conflicts arising from potentially harmful or adverse testing conditions.
