The present project modified an existing ethics intervention aimed at graduate students, which had previously been evaluated and determined to be effective. The existing program was modified to shorten it from a 2 full-day training to a 1 full-day training. The effectiveness of the modified training program was evaluated using multiple dependent measures: perceptions of ethical dilemmas, ethical decision making and the using of cognitive strategies for ethical decision making, and reactions to the training. The results of the present study indicated that there were significant differences from pretraining to posttraining on measures of perceptions of ethical problems and markers of the cognitive processes involved in ethical decision making, including a focus on the ethical elements of the problem, and overall decision ethicality. Finally, participants reacted favorably to the program. Implications of these results are discussed.
本项目对一项现有的针对研究生的伦理学干预措施进行了修改，该干预措施之前已经过评估并被确定为有效。现有的方案被修改为从为期两天的完整培训缩短为为期一天的完整培训。使用多种因变量评估了修改后的培训计划的有效性：对伦理困境的看法、伦理决策以及使用认知策略进行伦理决策，以及对培训的反应。本研究的结果表明，在对伦理问题的看法和涉及伦理决策认知过程的标志物方面，从培训前到培训后有显著差异，包括对问题的伦理要素的关注，以及整体决策的道德性。最后，参与者对该方案反应良好。讨论了这些结果的意义。
