Document Summary
Informed consent-the researcher tells prospective participants about the study and obtains their written agreement to participate: principle i also means respecting participants" right to decide whether they want to part pate and remain in the study d. Informed consent may be unnecessary or impossible (studies that involve public records or risk free studies in which requiring informed consent would be counterproductive to the purpose of the research e. If the participants have diminished capacity to understand the consent form, a legally responsible person may speak on their behalf. Is deception in research ever justified: milgram"s use of a false illusion was well within the norms of deception in use at the time full briefing would change the partipant"s behavior. It would appear that"s not the active form of deception that"s is its measure, but its effect on the research participant. It"s not deception so much as potentially harmful deception that we would b. c. like to minimize.
