FAQ

The debriefing is an essential part of the informed consent process and is mandatory when the research study involves use of deception. The debriefing provides participants with a full explanation of the hypothesis being tested, procedures to deceive participants and the reason(s) why it was necessary to deceive them.

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.

Deception should only be used when its use is the only way to answer the research question. Research plans that involve the use of deception must be adequately justified and, in most cases, will require that research participants be informed about the deception at the conclusion of their participation.

Forgive and Move On: If it's a minor issue and they show remorse. Set Boundaries: If their behavior is harmful, establish clear boundaries. Seek Mediation: In cases of ongoing relationships, a neutral third party can help. Cut Ties: If the deception is severe or repeated, it might be best to distance yourself.

For studies involving deception, debriefing materials should explain the design and procedures used for deception, and the reason(s) why deception was necessary. After debriefing participants in studies that have involved deception, it may be necessary to re-consent participants.

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.

In general, deception is not acceptable if, in the judgment of the IRB, the participant may have declined to participate had they been informed of the true purpose of the research.

The deceptive practice or information should not increase the risks of the study, and subjects must be fully debriefed. Subjects must have the opportunity to ask questions about the new information and be given the opportunity to withdraw from the study and have their data removed.

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.
