Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Milgram's studies did include a debriefing period at the end of each experiment. This allowed participants to understand the true nature of the study and its purpose, and to ask any questions they may have had. However, the other options are correct: there was no true informed consent because participants were not fully informed about the nature and potential harm of the study, there was deception because participants were deceived about the purpose of the study, and Milgram's studies may have inflicted insight (psychological distress) on the participants by exposing them to the harsh realities of their own obedience to authority.
