Answer to Question 1

Answer:
Although some details may be left out and the purpose of the experiment may be concealed in some situations, informed consent is used to give participants as much information as possible about the experimental procedures to be followed during an experiment. After the experiment is concluded, debriefing is used to explain any aspects of the experiment that were omitted during the informed consent phase, the purpose of the experiment, and the reasons for any deceptions. The combination of informed consent and debriefing serves to provide safeguards for research participants and to mitigate any negative effects of deception during the procedure.
