Topic 1.2
Why is confidentiality important in psychological research?
To prevent other researchers from stealing your study results before publication only.
To protect participant privacy and maintain trustworthiness of the researchers or institutions conducting studies.
It's not critical as long as researchers get valuable research outcomes no matter how participants’ private information is used.
Because it's legally required only, not ethically significant otherwise in psychological studies context specifically.
