Classwork wiill expose students to cases illustrating research methodologies of increasing ethical complexity, in major areas of scientific inquiry in the field of psychology. The case studies will provide students with experience in evaluating the applicability of scientific norms and the Ethical Principles of the American Psychological Association to a broad range of research problems. During the first year of funding, instructional materials and evaluation techniques will be developed and piloted, followed by a 2-day summer faculty workshop. During the second year, the ethics education curriculum will be incorporated into introductory psychology courses at Fordham and Loyola Universities. Evaluation of the project will focus on faculty and student satisfaction with the clarity, difficulty level, and relevance of the curriculum as well as knowledge and skills in ethical reasoning gained by students. ***
