How safe is the 'safe side'?

• Psychological Testing on the Web by Eugene Aidman, PhD, 5/19/97
  • Standards! by Larry Rosen, 5/19/97
    
    

I can't agree more with Larry Rosen that 'a conservative "watch and wait" approach to psychology on the web' is far from being a safe bet. Although prudent conservativism has its advantages, with Global Information Superhighway they rapidly become negligible - if not outright counterproductive. I'm convinced that our profession needs to be more proactive in setting its standards for the new, Internet-accelerated Knowledge Era. May be it's worth inviting the APA, APS and other professional associations to join efforts on the issue? Time's flying quite literally these days...
