| Abstract: | Ethics training is an important integrative theme in the American Psychological Association guidelines for the psychology undergraduate major. Similarly, preparation for ethical research and clinical practice are central to training health service psychologists. With the move toward competence-based education, skill-based assessment and training are needed to extend the usual didactic instruction in ethics. In this study, we examined the use of deliberate practice as a form of competence-based education in comparison to control groups for the training of 63 novice undergraduates to handle basic ethical situations in therapy. We found that students' ability to respond to simulated therapy clients improved in the deliberate practice group, but not in the case discussion or motivational interviewing control groups. Findings suggest that basic and focused applied ethics' skill training can be effectively used early in a student's training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
