L’etica professionale nell’ambito della ricerca in psicologia

[Autom. eng. transl.] During the course of the chapter, we will initially consider what the CD of Italian psychologists says is relevant with respect to the field of psychological research. Subsequently, we will investigate and comment on some of the principles that characterize the Code of Ethics for research of the Italian Association of Psychology (AIP), the reference tool for psychology researchers in Italy. Later, we will deal with the use of deception as a research device in psychology, highlighting some aspects converging between methodology and ethics of research. Finally, we will conclude by analyzing a case study in psychology as famous as it is controversial, showing its ethical and methodological limits in the light of the considerations made so far.
