Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While deception may be necessary in some research studies, it is important for the researchers to explain the deception to the subjects after the data is collected and obtain their informed consent to use the information obtained. This allows the subjects to understand what happened and why it was necessary, and to make an informed decision about their participation in the study. Paying participants, maintaining subject anonymity, and using double-blind control are all important ethical considerations in research, but they do not specifically address the issue of deception.
