1. PSY 570: Final Project Guidelines and Grading Guide
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an ethics
training manual for individuals who will be working with
employees or clients (could be educational or IOP, depending
on the student’s concentration). If any students are pursuing a
general track (no concentration), they can select any area of
psychology of interest. The project is divided into four
milestones, which will be submitted at various points
throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality
final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in
Modules Two, Four, Seven, and Ten.
You can choose any discipline in psychology (clinical,
cognitive, counseling, developmental, experimental, social,
etc.), but it would be most beneficial to choose either your
concentration area or an area of interest. Using the five general
principles of psychology (beneficence and nonmaleficence;
fidelity and responsibility; integrity; justice; respect for
people’s rights and dignity), draft a training portion utilizing
user-friendly terminology to describe each principle, including
multiple-role relationships, relating it back to the APA Code of
Ethics and providing stepwise recommendations on solving the
ethical situation. You must incorporate at least four scholarly
resources in your ethics training manual. The final ethics
training manual will be 10–14 pages in length, not counting the
title or reference pages.
Main Elements
Milestone One: The first draft of the training materials will
utilize user-friendly terminology describing each principle in
two paragraphs. Following the explanation of each principle,

2. students will need to provide one example of a research-related
potential ethical dilemma that would violate the principle in the
student’s selected concentration. If any students are pursuing a
general track (no concentration), they can select any relevant
area of psychology for their example.
· Principle A: Beneficence and Nonmaleficence
· Principle B: Fidelity and Responsibility
· Principle C: Integrity
· Principle D: Justice
· Principle E: Respect for People’s Rights and Dignity
Milestone Two: The second draft of the training materials will
continue to utilize user-friendly terminology to describe each
principle (two paragraphs per principle). This draft is an
opportunity for the student to add to or modify the explanation
utilizing instructor feedback. Following the explanation of each
principle, students will need to provide an additional example
of a potential ethical dilemma that would violate the principle.
This example will be a field-related ethical dilemma in the
student’s selected concentration, thus making a total of two
dilemmas for each principle, or ten examples total. If any
students are pursuing a general track (no concentration), they
can select any relevant area of psychology for their example.
Milestone Three: Present an issue that may cause ethical
concern in establishing professional boundaries with the five
stated relationships (below). Each issue must consist of an
ethical situation within the context and a description of what the
APA Code of Ethics recommends doing in each situation.
Professional boundaries regarding multiple-role relationships

3. with:
1. clinical clients
2. research participants
3. graduate students
4. supervisees
5. consultees
Milestone Four: The training manual includes examples of
potential ethical issues, including multiple relationships. These
issues are discussed in relation to the five general principles
and the APA Code of Ethics. Select any two of the examples of
ethical issues utilized in the drafted training manual and provide
the steps necessary to making an ethical decision within each
example. You will need to take into consideration the
psychologist’s role in the example as well as how culture may
influence your decision making, including documentation,
consultation, and the final ethical decision for each example.
You will then need to outline the potential consequences of not
selecting the ethical path for that specific example. The Final
Project will include all information from Milestones One, Two,
Three, and Four, making a complete training manual.
Milestones
Milestone One: First Draft of Training Materials
In task2-2, you will submit the first draft of training materials
for potential ethical situations. This first draft will receive
instructor feedback to be used in modifying the second draft.
This milestone will be graded separately using the Milestone
One Rubric (below).
Milestone Two: Second Draft of Training Materials

4. In task 4-2, you will submit the second draft of training
materials. This milestone will be graded separately using the
Milestone Two Rubric (below).
Milestone Three: Third Draft of Training Materials
In task 7-2, you will submit the third draft of training materials.
This milestone will be graded separately by the Milestone Three
Rubric (below) and should incorporate instructor feedback.
Milestone Four: Final Draft of Training Materials
In task 10-3, you will submit the final draft of training
materials. It should be a complete, polished artifact containing
all of the main elements of the final product. It should reflect
the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course.
This milestone will be graded using the Final Product Rubric
(below).
