Answer 1

Answer: D. The principle of integrity and fidelity/responsibility

The principles of INTEGRITY and FIDELITY/ RESPONSIBILITY are chief principles that should be adhered to by Psychologists according to the American Psychological Association.

Under the INTEGRITY principle, psychologists are to promote accuracy, honestly and truthfulness in all areas of psychology and there are sections such as Ethical Standard 8.07 of the APA that deal with violations of this principle.

Under FIDELITY/ RESPONSIBILITY, psychologists should be concerned and aware of the ethical compliance of their fellow members of Psychology and in Ethical Standard 1.05 of the APA, it is stated that psychologists should take appropriate actions when they acquire knowledge of a psychologist behaving in ways that can be detrimental to patients.
