Case Study: In 2014, investigators from several academic research institutions collaborated with Facebook to test whether reducing the number of positive or negative messages people saw made them less likely to post positive or negative content themselves (Kramer, Guillory, & Hancock, 2014). The experiment was carried out by manipulating the algorithm by which Facebook sweeps posts into members’ news feeds. Participants were not informed they were a part of this research. Investigators involved in the study defended the absence of informed consent for a study designed to influence emotions, arguing that the manipulation was consistent with Facebook’s Data Use Policy, to which all users must agree at the time they join Facebook (Goel, 2014). However, Facebook policy only mentions “research” in general terms (e.g., “We may use the information we receive about you…for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research and service improvement” (Waldman, 2014). The investigators also argued that they were using “archival” data collected by a business entity, despite the fact that they were involved in the initial study design. According to the APA Ethics Code, was the psychologists’ involvement in this study ethical or unethical? Support your decision with relevant General Principles and Ethic Code Standards.

Charlie is an 8-year-old boy who is having difficulty making friends and sitting still in class. When he goes to school, his teacher complains that he can't sit still. He will sit for 3 minutes but soon after he starts bouncing his leg, and then he begins tapping his pencil. Shortly thereafter, he starts rapping lyrics under his breath. He is performing well in school, but his behavior is distracting others.

Charlie isn't hyperactive like this at home, but his mother is concerned. His mother wants you to prescribe him Xanax for anxiety and Adderall for ADHD. After you do an extensive interview with Charlie, you realize that he is just bored in his U.S History class and would rather be playing basketball in P.E.

However, Charlie's mother insists that you write a few prescriptions. Research suggests that medical professionals (Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistant's, etc.) are often pressured to write prescriptions even when they don't believe that it is the best thing to do for the patient.

Your investigation has led you to believe that Charlie just needs more physical exercise. But his mother continues to insist that Charlie needs medication. How would you explain to his mother what you plan to do?
