Debriefing involves explaining to the participants what happened in the study, the reasons for conducting it, and addressing any misconceptions or concerns they may have. It is an ethical requirement to obtain informed consent from participants, but debriefing goes beyond that to ensure that participants fully understand the nature of the study and their involvement in it. The researcher may also partially disclose their identity during the debriefing process, but that is not a primary goal.
