“…Anecdotal data show that despite a rapidly growing interest in public relations ethics, few studies have examined the state of teaching ethics to public relations students at the university level (Bowen, 2005). This paper makes a pedagogical and theoretical contribution to a thin literature on ethics education.…”

“…Although a number of studies in various academic disciplines have examined the process and underpinnings of teaching ethics, not many studies have elaborated this topic in the public relations field (Bowen, 2005). Therefore, through the investigation of teachers' philosophies and practices of teaching ethics, the present research will contribute to a thin literature on PR ethics education.…”

This study examined the present state of teaching ethics in university public relations departments in the U.S. and abroad. The results indicated that public relations teachers perceived ethics instruction in public relations education to be essential, and they believed in a close tie between general morality and professional ethics. However, as the results of a quantitative survey suggested, foreign participants believed that ethics instruction helps students make right choices on the job less so than did participants who were born and teach in the U.S. A series of qualitative interviews with communication teachers in Western European universities revealed that the foreign teachers did not perceive themselves as direct contributors to the public relations industry. Instead, they saw themselves as individuals who are responsible for general liberal education of the youth, not specialized training.Multiple regression analysis of a number of respondents' demographics showed that the higher the participants' rank, the less favorable attitude they held toward the value of ethics education to students. This result is a subject of a future investigation.The majority of participants recognized ethics instruction incorporated in courses throughout the PR curriculum as the most valuable format of ethics instruction delivery. The most used pedagogies-teacher lectures, case studies, and group discussion-appeared to be the most effective approaches, whereas the most used resources in teaching ethics-textbooks, trade magazine articles, and newspaper or magazine stories-were perceived as the most effective material in teaching ethics.

“…However, consumers may process CSR communications differently and, in turn, form attitudes toward CSR communications and assess corporations' CSR practices differently. These variables appear to be correlated sequentially, which may, in turn, influence consumers' attitudes toward corporations and purchase intentions toward CSR brands (Osterhus, 1997;Park et al 2004;Bowen, 2005;David et al 2005, Wang -Anderson, 2011.…”

“…This paper examines the moral and ethical paradigms of a wellknown social movement organization of America-TPP's consumer directed health care movement. One reason of conducting this research in the context of American health care reform, and the role of a social movement organization is that scholars who study social movements related to specific medical illness or environmental threats, or attempts to promote major change in health insurance, there have been no attempts to systematically analyze health care related social movements activity from the perspective of ethics or to connect activism to moral perspectives [1,11].…”
