| Abstract: | Predicted that psychology interns who had completed a formal course in ethics would be able to discriminate the ethical problems or considerations in clinical practice at a rate significantly higher than interns who had received no formal training in ethics. Ss were 234 interns in clinical and counseling psychology programs. Results suggest that Ss who have completed formal training in ethics score significantly higher on the Ethical Discrimination Inventory than Ss who have received no formal training in ethics. Results appear to support the efficacy of teaching professional ethics in graduate training programs. (16 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
