The General Principles are aspirational.In other words,they describe an ideal level of ethical functioning or how psychologists should strive to conduct themselves.They don't include specific definitions of ethical violations; instead,they offer more broad descriptions of exemplary ethical behavior.The Ethical Standards section of the ethical code includes enforceable rules of conduct.Thus,if a psychologist is found guilty of an ethical violation,it is a standard (not a principle)that has been violated.These standards are written broadly enough to cover the great range of activities in which psychologists engage,but they are nonetheless more specific than the General Principles.Although each General Principle could apply to almost any task a psychologist performs,each Ethical Standard typically applies to a more targeted aspect of professional activity.
