Postawy psychologów w rozwiązywaniu podstawowych problemów moralnych i zawodowych

Abstract

Every psychologist who undertakes a variety of tasks, always has to assume different attitudes towards the moral and occupational problems that he or she will have to cope with. Thus we can distinguish between many attitude pairs which are completely opposite in their meanings. For instance, the alarmist and balanced attitude, poli-pragmatic and adequate attitude, demonstrable and discrete attitude, nihilistic and realistic-optimistic attitude, over-involved and empatie attitude, conceited and humbling attitude. The importance of moral education for a psychologist results from every human imperfection. Hence, the onus is on a psychologist to learn about the ethics and develop knowledge in the field of morality. It can be concluded that a psychologists must be a tutor of his or her own. According to a research, which I performed among 311 psychologists, the most problematic moral and occupational issue for them was to maintain a professional secrecy. The most significant attitude is assumed by those psychologists who are commissioned to do a certain research. Therefore, in this context we can distinguish between the following types of attitudes: evaluative, interpretative, nourishing, in vestig ative and understandable.
