Unit 1 Assignment
Learn about the studies
The American Psychological Association (APA) has a

5. Code of Conduct that describes rules concerning ethics
in psychological experiments, and review boards are in place to
enforce these ethics. But in the past, the standards were not so
strict, which is how some very famous studies in psychology
came about.
Read about (and watch) the following psychological studies that
would, today, be considered unethical.
The Milgram Experiment
Yale psychologist Stanley Milgram hoped to further understand
how so many people came to participate in the cruel acts of the
Holocaust. He theorized that people are generally inclined to
obey authority figures, posing the question, "Could it be that
Eichmann and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were
just following orders? Could we call them all accomplices?" In
1961, he began to conduct experiments of obedience.
Watch the following video:

The Little Albert Experiment
At Johns Hopkins University in 1920, John Watson conducted a
study of classical conditioning on a 9-month-old baby he called
Albert B. The young boy started the experiment loving animals,
particularly a white rat, but when Watson started pairing the
presence of the rat with the loud sound of a hammer hitting
metal, Albert began to develop a fear of the white rat as well as
most animals and furry objects.

Little Albert (3m:26s)
The Blue Eyes and Brown Eyes Experiment
Jane Elliott was not a psychologist, but she developed a
controversial exercise in 1968 by dividing students into a blue-
eyed group and a brown-eyed group in an attempt to give her
students hands-on experience with discrimination.
Watch the following video:

Select a study
Once you have watched and learned about each experiment,
choose one experiment to study in more depth. Conduct research
online to learn more about that experiment, and then complete
the assignment.
Choose ONE of the experiments above and construct a 2-page
paper based on the following:
· 1st Paragraph: Clearly
state the main problem or issue you need to consider
when determining whether or not this study is ethical. Clearly
explain what makes this study unethical and why. Cite
at least one outside source, as well as one or two concepts from
the APA Code of Conduct, to support your statements.
· 2nd Paragraph:
Analyze and interpret relevant information about this
study to determine what would need to be changed in order to
meet the APA's Code of Conduct and ethical standards.
· 3rd Paragraph:
Evaluate this study to assess if the benefit of learning
the results of this study outweighs the potential harm of
conducting the study. Cite at least one outside source to support
your statements.
· 4th Paragraph: Generate a comprehensive
conclusion that integrates your thoughts about this
study and about ethical experiments (the main problem/issue
you addressed in the first paragraph).
Make sure that you cite your sources within your paper using
APA-formatted, in-text citations, and the last page of your
paper needs to be your APA-formatted reference page. Both
your first paragraph and third paragraph must have citations.
