Discusses recent proposals concerning ethical standards for psychological research. An experiment was conducted using a simple, typical verbal conditioning task in which the E said" good" when the S began a sentence with either" I" or" we." The nonethical group of 14 male undergraduates was selected and run under current procedures: they were informed only that the experiment involved" sentence construction." The ethical group of 14 Ss was selected and run under conditions of full disclosure of the experiment's purpose and hypotheses. Ss were allowed to participate or not under complete informed consent. Ss in the nonethical group significantly conditioned in a positive direction, while those in the ethical group conditioned in a negative direction (p<. 001). Explanations for the reversed conditioning of the ethical Ss are presented. It is concluded that once the paramethodological requirements under which data are collected are altered, interpretation of results becomes impossible.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
