Informed consent is a fundamental ethical standard in research, according to the American Psychological Association (APA). It requires that participants are fully informed about the nature of the research and any potential risks or benefits before they agree to participate. Deception violates this standard because it involves misleading participants about some aspect of the research, thereby preventing them from making a fully informed decision about their participation.
