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 ...
Some forms of deception include: Lies: making up information or giving information that is the opposite or very different from the truth. Equivocations: making an indirect, ambiguous, or contradictory statement.
A few ways deception might be used is by misrepresenting the purpose of the research, using participants, and observing participants without their knowledge. ing to the APA's guidelines, special precautions must be taken when using deception.

Definition. Deception is the intentional misleading of subjects or the withholding of full information about the nature of the experiment. 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.
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.
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).
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.
Deception or incomplete disclosure should only be used when no reasonably effective, alternative methods are available to achieve the goals of the research. Only study procedures that involve minimal risks (as determined by the IRB) can include deception or incomplete disclosure.

Research Compliance provides broad oversight, resources and education for integrity and compliance issues relating to the conduct of research. The purpose of this document is to assist researchers in addressing issues related to using deception in research with human subjects.Deception broadly means the use of deliberately misleading communication with participants about research purposes or activities. Prospective subjects must not be deceived about research that is reasonably expected to cause physical pain or severe emotional distress. 4. Use lay terms and avoid use of jargon. Explain how participants were deceived. The use of deception and incomplete disclosure are valuable research techniques used to answer scientific inquiries in human subjects research. When deceptive methodologies are used, participants are given incomplete or misleading information about what to expect during the study activities. This guidance will focus on deception and incomplete disclosure separately, and provide guidance on how they are different and how they can be. Alternative methods can be used that will yield valid study results.
