When using human research participants or animal subjects in any
psychological research project it is important to follow accepted
ethical guidelines. The American Psychological Association has laid
out the guidelines for psychologists and these are available on the
APA website at:
http://www.apa.org/ethics/code.html. Some other sites that cover research participants, including sampling and validity issues are : http://waisgate.hhs.gov/cgi-bin/waisgate
