Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deception occurs when participants are misled or intentionally given false information about the method and purposes of the study. This may be done in order to prevent participants from altering their behavior due to knowledge of the true purpose of the study, but must be carefully balanced with ethical considerations and the need for informed consent. Realism refers to the degree to which a study reflects real-world conditions, while control and replication refer to methods for ensuring the reliability and validity of research findings.
