Abstract: 
With the rapid development of design industry in recent years, much attention has been paid to the professional ethics in the industry. This research aims to explore the recognition of designers from different backgrounds towards professional ethics and try to classify the characteristics of it. In this study, Descriptive Statistics, One-way ANOVA,, Regression Analysis and Cluster Analysis were used to discuss the results of the questionnaire. Finally, the results showed that differences between academic qualifications and professional categories may affect designer's professional ethics recognition. Meanwhile, this study, based on the research results, divides the cognition of profession ethics into four categories, each of which has its own unique characteristics. It is hoped that the results of this study can effectively promote the cultivation of designers’ profession ethics, and improve the establishment of relevant profession ethics courses in design education.
