Thus, some researchers argue that deception contains elements that have potentially negative effects on a participant's emotional state and self-esteem. In addition to concerns about harms to participants, questions of methodological and reputational harms have also been raised.
Examples of Active Deceptive Research Participants complete a quiz and are falsely told that they did poorly, regardless of their performance. Participants who do not know they are in a research study are observed to see how they behave when they find valuables (e.g., wallet, laptop) unattended in a public location.
While deception can be an effective tool for the conduct of research, it also raises ethical concerns with participant autonomy and respect for persons, as well as regulatory issues with informed consent requirements.
Deception and incomplete disclosure may interfere with the ability of the research subject to make a fully informed decision about whether or not to participate in the research.
The IRB discourages the use of deception when: Alternative methods can be used that will yield valid study results. The deception deprives participants of the opportunity to protect their own interests. The missing information affects the participants' ability to assess the risks of participation.
Investigators may mislead or omit information about the purpose of the research, the role of the researcher, or what procedures in the study are actually experimental. Deception increases ethical concerns because it interferes with the ability of the subject to give informed consent.

Deception is when a researcher gives false information to subjects or intentionally misleads them about some key aspect of the research. Examples include: Subjects complete a quiz, and are falsely told that they did very poorly, regardless of their actual performance.
The study must not involve more than minimal risk to the subjects. The use of deceptive methods must be justified by the study's significant prospective scientific, educational, or applied value.
