Answer to Question 1

Deception involves lying to the participants concerning the true nature of a study because knowing the true nature of the study might affect their performance. Debriefing involves providing information about the true purpose of a study as soon after the completion of data collection as possible.

Answer to Question 2

The Psychological Abstracts allow you to search based on topic. Thus, one can search the abstracts for a certain topic along with other parameters such as date or type of publication. The Social Science Citation Index allows one to search for subsequent articles that have cited a key article.
