Participant Deception
Deception occurs when the participants are told
only part of the truth or when the truth is fully
compromised.
Two reasons suggested for deception are:
1. To prevent biasing the participants before
the survey or experiment; and
2. To protect the confidentiality of a third
party (e.g., the sponsor)

As discussed before;
All individuals have a right to privacy, and
researchers must respect that right.
Once a guarantee of confidentiality is given,
protecting that confidentiality is essential.
Researchers protect participant confidentiality in
several ways.
1.Obtaining signed nondisclosure documents
only researchers who have signed nondisclosure forms should
be allowed access to the data.
2.Restricting access to participant identification.
3.Revealing participant information only with written consent.
4.Restricting access to data instruments where the participant is
identified.
5.Nondisclosure of data subsets.
