- Ethics
- Informed consent
- Participants must make an informed decision whether they wish to take part or not
- Participants under 16 need informed consent from parents
- Ways of dealing with this
- Give participants as much information as possible about the study
- Presumptive consent: Ask a sample similar to the target sample if they would be happy to take part
- Prior general consent: Give your target sample a list of potential studies with your actual study hidden amongst them. If they would be happy to take part you have prior general consent
- Retrospective consent: Participants are asked for consent during debriefing after taking part in the study.
- Deception
- When participants are given false information
- Ways of dealing with this
- This can't actually be dealt with once you have lied, however there are things you can do to make it better
- Debriefing: After the study you give participants full details of what the study was about, what you intended to find, and what you'll do with the results
- Right to withdraw: Remind participants of their right to withdraw their data if they wish
- Right to withdraw
- Participants must have the right to withdraw themselves and their data at any point during the study

- Give participants the right to withdraw and remind them of this during and at the end of the study
- They should be told they can withdraw themselves and/or their data at any time
- Protection from harm
- Everything must be done to protect the participants from psychological and physical harm
- Ways of dealing with this
- Keep results confidential
