A psychologist interviewed Zina and Amanda 5 months after witnessing a car crash to see if they could remember the same level of detail about the incident. Explain one ethical issue the psychologist must consider before interviewing Zina and Amanda.

The psychologist must consider Zina and Amanda's psychological wellbeing after witnessing the incident. Witnessing a car crash is a stressful ordeal; by recalling details of the incident Zina and Amanda could experience symptoms such as stress and anxiety. Therefore, the psychologist should be mindful about protecting Zina and Amanda from psychological harm. One strategy could be offering Zina and Amanda counselling after the interview.
