8 Ethics in Psychological Research Animal research – answers questions we could never do with human research. Focus is on avoiding exposing them to unnecessary pain or suffering. Animals are used in approximately 7% of psychological studies. These rabbits are part of a drug-testing study. Their bodies are enclosed in the metal cases to prevent movement during the test. What steps might the researchers using these animals take to treat the animals ethically?

Ethics of Experimentation Subjects must always have the right to decline participation in an experiment or withdraw their participation at any time. “Voice and Choice” Openness and honesty are essential to experimentation. Information obtained about a subject during the course of a study must remain confidential. The experimenter has the duty to assess carefully the possibility of any potential risks, physical or mental, to participants, inform them of existing risks, and correct or remove any undesirable consequences.
