RESUMEN

El objetivo del estudio es realizar un relevamiento y estudio sobre las actitudes hacia la ética en estudiantes de grado y posgrado de psicología. A fin de comparar competencias más valoradas y menos valoradas en cuanto a ética profesional, se aplica a una muestra intencional (n=273) de estudiantes de grado (n=193) y posgrado (n=80) la Escala sobre Actitudes hacia la Ética Profesional (Hirsch Adler, 2005, adaptación de Ormart, Esteva y Navés, 2012), cuenta con 55 proposiciones que miden 4 competencias cognitivo-técnicas, sociales, éticas y afectivo-emocionales. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian que, tanto para los estudiantes de grado como de posgrado, la competencia más valorada es la de ética y no se presentan grandes diferencias en el resto de las competencias.
