What essential information is provided during the debriefing process?

During the debriefing process, participants are typically informed about the details of the study methods and objectives. This is a crucial part of ethical research practices as it allows participants to understand the purpose behind the study they took part in.

By providing this information, researchers fulfill their obligation to ensure that participants are fully informed about the nature of the research, including any manipulations or interventions they experienced. It also helps in clarifying any misconceptions participants might have after their involvement and contributes to the overall transparency of the research process.

This debriefing helps reinforce trust in the research community and ensures ethical standards are maintained, allowing participants to feel respected and valued for their contribution.
