 Throughout your coursework and professional career, it is extremely important that you write in your own words.  You will often be tasked with reading psychological materials and then required to incorporate the content into a paper or other type of written or oral presentation.  At times, the material you are reading might be quite technical, and it may be challenging for you to present these ideas in your own words.  This is your opportunity to practice this important skill. 

1.   Milgram’s Obedience to Authority study and Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment are both renowned but controversial studies in psychology. One notable violation of research ethics in the Stanford Prison Experiment was the lack of informed consent. Participants were not adequately informed about the potential psychological harm they might experience, nor were they aware of the extent to which their behavior would be manipulated. This contravenes the ethical principle of informed consent outlined by the American Psychological Association (APA).
   Another violation was the lack of protection from harm. Participants in the Stanford Prison Experiment were subjected to psychological distress and potential long-term consequences without proper safeguards in place to protect their well-being. This breaches the APA’s ethical principle of minimizing harm to participants.
   To make the study more ethically sound today, researchers could prioritize informed consent by providing detailed information about the study’s purpose, potential risks, and the right to withdraw at any time without penalty. Additionally, measures should be implemented to ensure the psychological well-being of participants throughout the study, such as regular debriefing sessions and access to mental health support if needed.
   Regarding the question of whether similar insights into obedience and social roles could be gained with more ethical considerations in place, it’s possible that researchers could still uncover valuable findings. By ensuring participants’ rights are respected and their well-being protected, researchers may still observe behaviors related to obedience and social roles, albeit potentially with different nuances.
   Regarding the ethical aspect of studying only white males, it’s important to recognize the limitations this imposes on the generalizability of findings. A more culturally diverse sample would provide a broader understanding of human behavior and how it may vary across different demographics. Including participants from diverse backgrounds could yield insights into how cultural factors influence obedience and social roles, enriching the study’s findings and enhancing its applicability to a wider range of populations.
   My question for the class “What are some potential ethical dilemmas researchers might encounter when conducting psychological studies, And how can these dilemmas be addressed to ensure the ethical treatments of participants?”
2.  n the Milgram shock study, the ethics were violated because the participants were told the truth, and they were bullied to keep doing the experiment. The two ways I would change the experiment would be to make sure everyone understands the experiment and the risk that goes with it. This would lead them to sign a consent form stating they understand the experiment and their rights.” Having integrity is important because people need to be able to trust whoever is doing the experiment.” American Psychological Association (2017) This allows people to be safe, so do not think bad happens. I would also make sure it is fair for everyone, and not just pick all male. For this experience, they lost people trust because one of them told them to stop and they did not listen to them. People need to think for themselves if it is right or wrong. It should not matter. A higher up is telling them what to do. People should know what is morally right and wrong. “There shouldn’t be physical or mental harm when doing an experiment.” Shaughnessy, J.J., Zechmeister, E. B., & Zechmeister, J. S. (2015)  
I think with Milgram you see obedience more because someone higher up is telling them to push buttons to deliver the shock. With Zimbardo the guards did what they wanted to the prisoners because they let the power go to their head. They did not listen to the no hitting rule, and other things. 
I do not think it was ethical that Milgram and Zimbardo only study white males, because that’s. Not being fair. That would be considered discrimination. The study might differ if they did diverse cultures and added females because everyone is different in their own way. So might not like it, but they will do it anyway. I think the females will stop when someone says stop or if they look like they are in pain. The guards in the Stanford experience could have done worse to the females with that power went to their head as well.

Describe your experience with building relationships with your school administrator.
My experience with building relationships with my school administrator has been very positive, despite that we have had many admin throughout the past years. Every administrator is very different, as their goals are the same just the process of getting to the goal can be very different. I make sure that at some point I make sure that I am meeting with the admin and we are on the same page, what is expected from me so I can make sure that I am meeting the expectations. Offer my support in anything that I can, there is sometime support that be done outside our job duties. Check ins can also be very beneficial as there might be items that just pop up randomly and might not need a formal meeting. Working as a team is very crucial and can be very beneficial, in order to have a positive relationship we have to have good communication, helping each other out, checking in, and working as a team. These strategies help have a strong positive relationship with the admin team.

Describe your experience with building relationships with your school administrator
After eight and a half years, I left a school that I had been at since 2015. I had the experience of working with  5 different administrators at that school, which is on the West side of Los Angeles. I am now at a school in the South district. I have been at this school for 3 weeks. The School Administrators are very different. It has not been a smooth transition, as these administrators are ‘walled up”. As the new Counseling Assistant at this school, I have found that only one of the Administrators has taken the time to welcome me. I realize that being in a new place will offer challenges that I have not had to face. I expected that within the first week, I would have been able to connect with the Principal. I am in such an uncomfortable space. The school that I work at has students with severe challenges and I want to work I desire to connect to the administrators, as I need their input and ideas as to how to serve these students that they already know so well. I know that I need to be able to collaborate with administrators so that I can provide the best services for the students. I have been a bit discouraged because I am eager to get to know the administrators. It has been challenging, to say the least. I am determined to get to know all of the administrators, and I will just be patient and wait for opportunities to connect with them.
