FAQ
Deception in psychological research is often stated as acceptable only when all of the following conditions are met: 1) no other nondeceptive method exists to study the phenomenon of interest; 2) the study makes significant contributions to scientific knowledge; 3) the deception is not expected to cause significant ...
Active deception involves intentionally providing inaccurate or false information to participants (e.g., one study team member tells participants that they will be engaged in a cooperative task with other participants, but instead they will be interacting with other members of the study team).
Deception and incomplete disclosure are permissible in research with scientific value that would not be otherwise feasible without the use of deceptive procedures.
Psychologists do not conduct a study involving deception unless they have determined that the use of deceptive techniques is justified by the study's significant prospective scientific, educational or applied value and that effective nondeceptive alternative procedures are not feasible.
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.
The no-deception policy is based on ethical standards governing the safe participation of human subjects in research. Deceptive methodologies compromise participants' ability to give fully informed consent and have possible negative impacts on participants and research.
In addition, guidelines and regulations permit research without valid consent only when it poses no greater than minimal risk. Current practice thus prohibits studies that use deception and pose greater than minimal risk, including studies that rely on deceptive methods to evaluate experimental treatments.
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.
Examples of Active Deceptive Research An anxiety study, in which participants are told to expect mild pain during the course of the study, but no painful procedures are administered.
Deception in psychological research is often stated as acceptable only when all of the following conditions are met: 1) no other nondeceptive method exists to study the phenomenon of interest; 2) the study makes significant contributions to scientific knowledge; 3) the deception is not expected to cause significant ...

The purpose of this document is to assist researchers in addressing issues related to using deception in research with human subjects. The use of deception and incomplete disclosure are valuable research techniques used to answer scientific inquiries in human subjects research.This guidance will focus on deception and incomplete disclosure separately, and provide guidance on how they are different and how they can be. Active Deception: intentionally providing misleading or false information about the study purpose, nature, or other aspect. Yet, its use has provoked concerns that it raises participants' suspicions. Keywords: deception, research ethics, experimental control, suspicion. Federal regulations prohibit the use of deceptive techniques that place subjects at greater than minimal risk. Ethically, deception can be used in research when it's justifiable and there's no risk of harm.
