Does one size fit all? Interpretation and application of the American Psychological Association code of ethics by clinical and organizational psychologists
by Detwiler, Wesley William, PhD, ALLIANT INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY, SAN DIEGO, 2007, 0 pages; 3273276
 

Abstract: Organizational and clinical psychologists (n = 114) participated in research exploring differences and similarities in application of the ethics code to multiple relationship and confidentiality dilemmas within and across the disciplines. Clinical psychologist participants rated the behaviors depicted in the vignettes as more unacceptable and more deserving of sanction than did organizational participants. Additionally, clinical psychologists in the vignettes received greater sanction scores and lower acceptability ratings than did organizational psychologists. Female participants rated multiple relationship boundary crossings but not confidentiality dilemmas in the vignettes as more serious violations than did male participants. Overall, the findings indicate variance in application of the code. The advantages and disadvantages of the introduction of a discipline-specific code of ethical conduct are discussed.
