Ethical Considerations in Motivated Learning
Select at least three common motivational techniques from the "Model of Motivated Learning" section through the "Summary" section in Ch. 8 of Learning Theories. Some may call these techniques manipulation of clients.
Read the article "The General Ethical Principles of Psychologists" available on the student website and compare the principles with the motivational techniques from the text.

Option 2: Ethical Considerations Paper
Prepare a 3- to 5-page paper, specifically identifying any potential ethical pitfalls in client motivation that practicing psychologists should take care to avoid. You may limit your discussion to a single career area in psychology if you wish or you may prepare the paper in more general terms.
