Abstract

“The past century has borne witness to both horrific atrocities that have occurred in the name of research as well as incredible progress in terms of formalization and codification of research ethics standards,” (Mead Jasperse & Kelly, 2023, p. 37). However, as a behavior analyst in 2023, it is easy to pick up current professional ethics codes and apply the items in a rule-governed manner without learning about the significant historical events and foundational ethics documents that shaped modern policies and practices. This learning event is needed to provide our field with a succinct, applicable summary of the why behind the what of modern research ethics practices and offer a guide of how we can use the past to craft a better future. This learning event will provide a brief primer regarding significant historical events and foundational documents that have resulted in the contemporary research ethics policies and practices in the field of behavior analysis. This walk through the last century, from the Nuremberg Code to the Declaration of Helsinki, the Belmont Report, and 45 CFR Part 46 – Protection of Human Subjects will provide a summary of why the codification of requirements such as “informed consent” and “Institutional Review Board” oversight was necessary. The linkages between these historical events and the current research ethics practices will be discussed. Additionally, we will consider situations in which current research ethics codes do not provide explicit instruction but foundational documents may provide additional guidance.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this event, participants should be able to:

• Identify significant historical events and foundational documents related to research ethics when given a summary of the event or document.
• Match significant historical events and foundational documents related to research ethics to contemporary research ethics code items.
• Select a guiding significant historical event or foundational document to use when presented with a novel contemporary research ethics scenario.
