Psychologists are legally bounded to follow a set of guidelines to ensure ethical conduct.Name and explain three ethical principles of psychologists or codes of conduct set for researchers.

1.Respect for the dignity of persons-As the central ethical principle,psychologists' respect for human dignity underlies all of the others.Due to this code,certain words and phrases are used over others.For example,the word participants rather than subjects.Steps are taken to ensure that participants are comfortable and feel respected at all times.
2.Minimization of harm and reduction of risk-Psychologists must take steps to avoid harming participants.
3.Informed consent-Researchers are obligated to describe the procedures to participants before they take part in a study.Participants must be informed of any factors that might affect their willingness to participate,and researchers should document participants' agreement to take part in the study.
4.Freedom to withdraw-Participants must be informed that they are free to withdraw from a study at any point with no negative consequences for doing so.

5.Privacy and confidentiality-All information obtained from individual participants must be held in strict confidence.Confidentiality refers to restricting access to the data and to releasing results in such a way that each individual's privacy is not violated.
6.Minimal use of deception-Deception may be used only if the research has potential value (scientific,educational,or applied)and if there are no other viable means of investigating the research questions or hypotheses.Also,it can be used only if it does not put participants at undue risk and if,as soon after completion of the study as is feasible,participants are provided with a full description (i.e.,debriefing)of the study's true purpose; an explanation of all procedures,including the need for deception; and an opportunity to withdraw their data.
