Table : TABLE 4.4 • Ethical Guidelines for Research on Experimental Treatments
Psychologists conducting research on experimental treatments must clarify to participants at the outset of the research:
  1. the experimental nature of the treatment;
  2. the services that will or will not be available to the control group(s) if appropriate;
  3. the means by which assignment to treatment and control groups will be made;
  4. available treatment alternatives if an individual does not wish to participate in the research or wishes to withdraw once a study has begun; and
  5. compensation for or monetary costs of participating.
