The principles are professional, integrity, scientific responsibility, rights, and social responsibility. I was pretty intrigued when reviewing the ASA Code of Ethics to say the least. There is so much info on ethical guidelines for research along with how to do it properly while staying between the lines and following the rules essentially. I learned so much by going over them but the thing I learned the most about was probably the Ethical Standard of Representation and Misuse of Expertise. I did not know people were doing this so It was really eye opening to learn.
