The APA code of ethics expects scientists to respect the dignity and welfare of human subjects and specifies a number of guidelines to guarantee this.
People must participate in research voluntarily.
Informed consent should be obtained.
Participants should be protected from physical and mental harm.
If risks exist, subjects must be informed in advance.
Subjects must be given the right to withdraw from research at any time without penalty.
If deception is involved, subjects must be debriefed.
