unnecessary risk, and any benefits should be increased. Required for
beneficence is a list of potential benefits and potential harms that are associated
with the research. Te third ethical guidelines is justice. Individuals should be
exposed to fair and impartial procedures, and fair distribution of costs and
benefits. This focuses on the selection of research participants, such as people

adopted by the Council of Representative of the American Psychological
Association in 2012.
