Dr. Swinkels should do all three things. First, she should explain the reason(s) for the deception in the study to ensure that participants understand the purpose of the experiment and feel fully informed about their involvement. Second, she should explain what she expected to find in her experiment to help participants understand the significance of their ratings and the conclusions that may be drawn from the study. Finally, she should put participants who saw sadness-inducing movie clips back into a good mood to mitigate any negative effects of the mood manipulation and ensure that participants leave the study in a positive emotional state.
