Answer to Question 1

The aspirational goals are statements designed to guide psychologists toward the highest ethical levels in their professional work. The ethical standards are enforceable rules on ethics that, when violated, can lead to penalties for the person violating the standards.

Answer to Question 2

Psychiatric patients may not be in appropriate condition to understand the nature of the research they are going to participate in, so they can't meaningfully give informed consent. In addition, their legal guardians may not be able to make the best decision on behalf of the patient.
