Detailed explanation-1: -The debriefing is an essential part of the consent process and is mandatory when the research study involves deception. The debriefing provides participants with a full explanation of the hypothesis being tested, procedures to deceive participants and the reason(s) why it was necessary to deceive them.
Detailed explanation-2: -“Debriefing” is a procedure that occurs at the conclusion of the human subject’s participation in the study (although, in cases that warrant it, a full debriefing may occur at the conclusion of the study), through which the subject is provided the opportunity to discuss with the researcher the details of the research.
Detailed explanation-3: -An example of debriefing can be used during an experiment whereby the researchers had to use some form of deception for the purpose of the study. In this case, during the debriefing session, the researchers would explain why they used deception and explain the purpose of it.
Detailed explanation-4: -Informed consent is one of the founding principles of research ethics. Its intent is that human participants can enter research freely (voluntarily) with full information about what it means for them to take part, and that they give consent before they enter the research.
