AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Dehoaxing is the process of convincing subjects who have been deceived as part of a research study that they have in fact been deceived. The purpose of dehoaxing is to prevent possible future harm to the subject.

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: -Deception with debriefing Less than full disclosure at the outset should, in general, be easily handled by providing participants with a full explanation at the end of the study, in the form of a verbal or written debriefing, followed by re-consent.

Detailed explanation-4: -The debriefing is an essential part of the informed consent process and is mandatory when the research study involves use of 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-5: -Deceptive research is not free of risk, but this study suggests that its short-term psychological risk can be largely mitigated by conscientious behavior and considerate debriefing procedures enacted by well-trained experimenters.
