ABSTRACT
This chapter explores how theories and models of ethical practice and decision-making can be applied in real-world case study situations taken directly from sport, exercise and performance psychology (SEPP) settings. It outlines case studies taken from SEPP settings, including examples of possible ethical approaches to decision-making that could assist the practitioner to navigate these types of scenarios as effectively as possible. Ethical codes for psychological practice are typically based upon a set of ethical principles, which are then further divided into a number of ethical standards that capture the minimum expectations related to professional behavioral conduct for practitioners. Literature related to ethical theories in the context of codes of ethics and ethical practice in the field of psychology, have outlined a number of proposed key theoretical approaches. A plethora of decision-making models are outlined within the psychology literature, and whilst they fundamentally share similar principles, they vary in terms of sequencing and breadth of focus and detail.
