The ‘Little Albert’ experiment breached many ethical guidelines.
Informed Consent – Albert’s mother was a worker at the clinic where Watson worked. It is believed she volunteered Albert for the experiment, however, it is thought she didn’t know that Watson would be creating a fear response in her son. Therefore, there is no records of informed consent. There are no records about participant withdrawal rights. The fear response was never extinguished. Therefore, it can be assumed that Little Albert suffered lasting psychological harm as a result of the experiment. |
