Aligning the SRCD Ethical Principles and Standards with Research Ethics Practices in a Twenty-first Century World

Session Type: Professional Development Session

Abstract

Over the past year the SRCD Ethics Code Task Force met monthly to revise the Society for Research in Child Development Ethical Principles and Standards. Drawing on current federal regulations, International guidance documents and ethics codes from other scientific organizations, the Task Force approached this work with the goal of bringing SRCD ethical principles and standards in alignment with current research ethics practices and in response to this moment of societal change and future challenges. The goal of this session is to introduce SRCD members to the new principles and standards and to discuss how this document can guide the responsible conduct of research conducted across the diverse populations, contexts, and research designs represented by Society members. The entire revised Code will be available for members online by the biennial meeting date.
