ANSWER :
The role of ethics is very important in psychology. It is not important only in research psychology but in all fields, it is very important. Ethical codes of conduct are very important in all fields. But we talk about research it is very part of the research psychology. Most people when thinking about ethics think that these ethics are about to differentiate between right and wrong. Ethics are defined by the code of conduct or norms for the conduct. These differentiate between acceptable behavior and unacceptable behavior. Church, school, college, home, university all have their own rules and regulation.

These have their code of conduct. Another way to describe the code of conduct is the discipline of the conduct, standard of conduct. These conduct of ethics are applicable in all of the disciplines such as sociology, psychology, law, etc. Research development requires much of the cooperation and coordination so that the investigator can conduct the research. It ensures that the investigator should be accountable for the population. These ethics are helping in the norms of moral and social values for public support.
There is some code of conduct in research:

• Honesty
• Objectivity
• Integrity
• Openness
• Respect to privacy
• Confidentiality
