Answer to Question 1

Participants at minimal risk are placed under no more physical or emotional risk than would be encountered in daily life or in routine physical or psychological examinations or tests. Participants at risk are those at risk for physical or emotional harm or those whose privacy is compromisedin other words, the results from the study are not completely confidential.

Answer to Question 2

Psychologists only use deception in a research study when they have determined that the use of deceptive techniques is justified by the study's significant prospective scientific, educational, or applied value and that effective nondeceptive alternative procedures are not feasible.
