How practitioners perceive ethics in psychology

Mental health helping practices are often regulated via ethical rules. In some countries those rules imposed legal regulations, in others they by professional communities and not state enforced. Surprisingly, empirical studies of ethics somewhat limited. Also, defined as ‘statements from the codes’. However, obviously, written perceived followed real people. So, question is how these people actually perceive what was designed ‘norms’. The research this study is: subjectively professionals (psychologists)? pilot conducted on a sample 89 practicing psychologists (data were collected Feb–Jun 2021) who asked to evaluate ‘norms’ three codes using 10 criteria. This showed that, after factorization, ‘divide’ norms into two groups: protecting wellbeing community or client.
