Participants in modern psychology experiments have the right to withhold responses to questions they feel uncomfortable answering. This is because confidentiality and privacy are important ethical considerations in research, and participants should not be forced to reveal any information they do not wish to disclose. However, they do not have the right to choose which treatment group they are in, review the results of the study before they are published, or write a formal response to the published paper. These decisions are typically made by the researchers conducting the study.
