This Ethics Code applies to these activities across a variety of contexts, such as in person, postal, telephone, Internet, and other electronic transmissions.
Areas covered include but are not limited to the clinical, counseling, and school practice of psychology research teaching supervision of trainees public service policy development social intervention development of assessment instruments conducting assessments educational counseling organizational consulting forensic activities program design and evaluation and administration. This Ethics Code applies only to psychologists' activities that are part of their scientific, educational, or professional roles as psychologists. The fact that a given conduct is not specifically addressed by an Ethical Standard does not mean that it is necessarily either ethical or unethical. The Ethical Standards are not exhaustive. Most of the Ethical Standards are written broadly, in order to apply to psychologists in varied roles, although the application of an Ethical Standard may vary depending on the context. The Ethical Standards set forth enforceable rules for conduct as psychologists. Although the Preamble and General Principles are not themselves enforceable rules, they should be considered by psychologists in arriving at an ethical course of action. The Preamble and General Principles are aspirational goals to guide psychologists toward the highest ideals of psychology.
The Introduction discusses the intent, organization, procedural considerations, and scope of application of the Ethics Code. The American Psychological Association's (APA) Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (hereinafter referred to as the Ethics Code) consists of an Introduction, a Preamble, five General Principles (A-E) and specific Ethical Standards.
