Detailed explanation-1: -A researcher who decides to deceive participants in a study should: determine that the study cannot be done without deception.
Detailed explanation-2: -The deceptive practice or information should not increase the risks of the study, and subjects must be fully debriefed. Subjects must have the opportunity to ask questions about the new information and be given the opportunity to withdraw from the study and have their data removed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Researchers sometimes use deception in studies in order to obscure the true purpose of the experiment in order to try to get accurate results that could otherwise be skewed by the participant’s knowledge of what the study is truly about.
Detailed explanation-4: -Deception is when a researcher gives false information to subjects or intentionally misleads them about some key aspect of the research. This could include feedback to subjects that involves creating false beliefs about oneself, one’s relationship, or manipulation of one’s self-concept.
Detailed explanation-5: -Studies may use deception if it is necessary to answer the research question. If, in order to counter the demand effect, researchers cannot disclose their research hypotheses, the failure to disclose is not considered deception.
