Ethical Considerations. The University of West Florida is committed to an academic and employment environment free from harassment, discrimination, and unprofessional conduct. Codes of ethics for most professional associations forbid professional-client sexual relationships. Both professor-student and supervisor-employee relationships are similar to those of a professional and a client. The respect and trust accorded a professor by his or her student, as well as the power exercised by the professor in grading/evaluation, advising, or recommending study and future employment diminish the student’s actual freedom of choice when entering upon a relationship with that professor. A similar imbalance pertains in a supervisor/subordinate employee relationship. When these asymmetrical relationships are romantic and/or sexual in nature, they constitute an inherent Conflict of Interest. Accordingly, Consensual Relationships involving Conflicts of Interests are prohibited. Should such a Conflict develop, the teacher, supervisor or advisor has the obligation to disclose its existence and to cooperate in making alternative arrangements for the supervision, evaluation, teaching, grading, or advising of the employee, student and/or student employee. These arrangements will be set forth in a written conflict mitigation plan. The conflict mitigation plan must be approved by the Xxxxxxx.

Ethical Considerations. The American Medical Association's Code of Medical Ethics states that physicians should not refer patients to facilities in which they have an ownership interest unless such physician directly provides care or services to such patient at the facility. Because physician investors will be providing lithotripsy services, the General Partner believes that an investment by a physician will not be in violation of the American Medical Association's Code of Medical Ethics. In the event that the American Medical Association changes its ethical code to preclude such referrals by physicians and such ethical requirements are applied to facilities or services which, at the time of adoption, are owned in whole or in part by referring physicians, the Partnership and the interests of the Limited Partners may be adversely affected.

Ethical Considerations. The goal of the study and the participants' rights throughout the procedure was explained to them before the interviews start. Since participants' identities were known before they arrive for the interview or join an online interview, complete anonymity of participants' identities cannot be entirely ensured in the current study. Yet, the data gathered during the procedure was only communicated with the thesis supervisor in order to maintain confidentiality. Additionally, all participants were given the assurance that their identities and their schools’ names would not appear in the thesis since they would be replaced with pseudonyms and numbers. Also, participants were allowed to not write their names during Zoom interviews and turn off their cameras if they felt uncomfortable with having names written and cameras on. All information collected and interview protocols were stored on the researcher's own, password-protected laptop, which was only accessible to the researcher and the research supervisor. The paper copies of the protocols and notes were kept at the researcher's workplace in a secured cabinet. The study is considered to be no more than minimal risk. Subsequent actions were taken to further reduce the risks. Even though principals know who the participants were, they were not given any information about the exact time when the interview was going to be conducted, and what the responses of the interviewees were. Thus, any information connected with the research was not shared with the principals of the selected schools, nor with other participants. Considering that the researcher was acquainted with both the participants and the principals, there was also a chance that the participants might feel uncomfortable and worry that the data may somehow be revealed. In this situation, the researcher reassured the respondents that the research was confidential to earn their faith. Additionally, the interviewees might have negative emotions as a result of recalling difficult experiences; as a result, the researcher had to monitor for the participant's emotions to become more sensitive during the procedure. The results of the research presented might be useful for the participants as it might help them to understand experiences of working with high school students in terms of challenges and ways of resolving them and provide some advice on how to organize career guidance work in their school. The school administration and the Head of the Psychology Departme...
