Social Influence Research - Do the Ends Justify the Means?

Study on social influence - We will stop justification of proving means. How the importance of investigating social impact shows the rationality of the method used in the survey. Discussion on psychological ethics focuses on two aspects: protecting participants and bringing benefits to society. Since some psychologists are not allowed to conduct specific experiments due to moral limitations, this is a double difficult dilemma, which can lead to validity issues. In social psychology these psychologists are obliged to use their research skills to deepen their understanding of human behavior and achieve the ultimate goal of human improvement.

Alinski pointed out many years' doubts that "the results of these methods are reasonable". That is pointless; the truth and the only doubt about means and purpose ethics is "Do these special objectives prove?" He said actors see the means and objectives in a practical and strategic way Said he or she only thinks about the available resources and the possibilities of various action options. For example, the "Declaration of Independence" is a wonderful document affirming our human rights, for the UK this is a kind of fraud. Filled with abbreviations for sexual, empire interests: foods offered during the famine, drugs during the disease etc.

Sometimes people think that these objectives prove the rationality of the means. From a moral point of view, it all depends on the motive of the person performing it. If my goal is good and sublime, and the means we use to accomplish it is kind and aristocratic, its purpose is to justify that means. However, considering that concept as an excuse for accomplishing the purpose with the necessary means, no matter how immoral, illegal, or offensive it is, the person said that wrong action points out good results I will try to prove by. I justified. Regardless of moral factors such as how human behavior affects others. There will be nothing far from the truth. The process of deciding to take action is more important than achieving the ultimate goal. If this is not true from an ethical point of view, even if it meets the needs and desires of individuals while hurting others, we can streamline actions under the name of achieving the goal of purpose.

Reasons for bad behavior occur in different ways. First, focus on the expected results and streamline the way they are executed. If the results are important, we will believe that "the purpose is to justify the means". For example, suspicious terrorist torture (ie water penalty) is justified by the expected outcome of protecting citizens from terrorist attacks. Muslim countries also used the same procedure to prove that killing Westerners is an "acceptable" means to achieve their goals. As Craig Johnson says, the "stop of moral standards" is a landslide, which only leads to an increase in bad behavior.
