7. General Principles of APA:
Protecting research participants and honouring trust: should attempt to protect the physical, social and psychological well-being of study participants
Anticipating harms: should be sensitive to the possible consequences of the study and work
General Principles of APA:

8. Rights to confidentiality and anonymity: informants and other research participants should have the right to remain anonymous
Fair return for assistance: there should be no economic exploitation of individual informants, translators and research participants; fair return should be made for their help and services 
Informed Consent: participants need to give their permission to participate in a study and be informed of all of the potential risks

9. Falsified Data: One of the most serious ethical breaches a researcher can commit is publishing falsified data. If researchers knowingly published a project using falsified data, they might be permanently banished from the academic community.
Deception: Intentionally misleading subjects about the nature of the study in which they’re participating.

10. The American Sociological Association's (ASA's) Code of Ethics

16. The American Psychological Association's (APA's) Ethical Guidelines
Psychologists are committed to increasing the knowledge of behavior and people’s understanding of themselves and others and to the use of such knowledge to improve the condition of individuals, organizations, and society.
Psychologists respect and protect civil and human rights and the freedom of inquiry and expression in research, teaching, and publication. They strive to help the public in developing informed judgments and choices concerning human behavior.
In doing so, they perform many roles, such as researcher, educator, diagnostician, therapist, supervisor, consultant, administrator, social interventionist, and expert witness.
This Ethics Code provides a common set of principles and standards upon which psychologists build their professional and scientific work.

17. Principle A: Beneficence and Non-maleficence
Beneficence is action that is done for the benefit of others - to help prevent or remove harms or to improve the situation of others.
Non-maleficence means to “do no harm.”

many beneficial therapies also have serious risks – the ethical issue is whether the benefits outweigh the burdens.

Principle B: Fidelity and Responsibility

19. Principle C: Integrity
