The establishment of a set of trans-cultural, decentric guidelines for research is consistent with the responsibility of psychology to protect the rights of both subject and scientist. Developing professional guidelines that comport with scientific and social values and are conducive to the growth of ideas and knowledge is essential (Reynolds, 1972). In the deployment of research, the psychologist seeks techniques which balance risks against benefits and burdens. Such activity has been described as the “heart of rationality, the essence of scientific method, and the meaning of intellectual integrity” (Kaufman, 1973, p. 2).
