Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Debriefing is now required when deception is used in research. This means that after the study is over, participants must be informed of any deception that occurred and given a full explanation of the study's purpose. This helps to minimize any potential harms caused by the deception and allows participants to provide informed consent for future research participation. The other options presented (A, C, and D) are not accurate, as the APA still allows deception under certain circumstances, there is no requirement for therapy, and participants must always be volunteers in research studies.
