Special Services in the Schools, v16 n1-2 p111-134 2000

Examines responses of school psychologists (n=141) and special educators (n=130) to ethical dilemmas involving conflicts between administrative directors and ethical obligations. The majority predicted that they, immediate colleagues, and professional peers would make the choices judged as ethical in all situations. Predictors of ethical responses were highest for self-prediction. (Author/JDM)
