Question 6 • Psychology A

The five general principles from the APA are meant to __________.

Answer
A
be enforceable rules
B
be posted in every office
C
guide and inspire good conduct
D
stand up in court

Explanation

The APA’s general principles express broad ethical ideals meant to guide psychologists’ professional conduct and inspire good practice. They are not enforceable rules in the same way as the specific ethical standards, nor are they designed primarily to be posted in offices or stand up in court. The correct choice is “guide and inspire good conduct.”
