Ethical research in psychology requires obtaining informed consent from research participants or their legal guardians. Monetary coercion is not ethical and using deception in a research study is only allowed if it can be justified and does not harm the participants. Manipulating the outcome of a study by omitting results that don't confirm a hypothesis is also unethical.
