Using the American Psychological Associations Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (Links to an external site.) (2010). imagine the following scenario: As a psychology professional, you have been asked to provide a caregiver with your professional opinion regarding how daycare/childcare can influence short and long-term physical, cognitive, or psychosocial development in infants. Identify your professional position on the topic; specifically, will incorporation of this element have a positive or negative impact on the childs development? Apply this research to major themes of development influenced daycare/childcare has on infants (i.e., physical, cognitive, and/or social) and explain how the literature supports your chosen stance. Point out how your stance compares or contrasts with prevailing popular wisdom. Your explanation should take the form of a persuasive discussion intended to help the caregiver respond positively to your advice as a psychology professional. Analyze any ethical considerations discussed in the research and their effect(s) on the trends. Include the complete references for your selected articles at the end of your initial post.
