Informed Consent: Researchers must obtain informed consent from participants before they can take part in a study. This means that participants need to be fully aware of what they will be asked to do and any potential risks or benefits involved.
Confidentiality: Researchers must keep all personal information about participants confidential. It's like when you tell your best friend a secret - you trust them not to share it with anyone else.
Debriefing: After the study, researchers should explain the purpose of the study and provide any additional information or support needed by participants. It's like having a post-game discussion after playing sports, where everyone talks about their experiences and feelings.
