Deception occurs in research when participants are misinformed or misled about the method and purposes of the study. This should be avoided at all costs because it is unethical and morally ambiguous. Researchers have to tell their participants exactly what the research is about and what it will involve, and they are virtually forbidden from deceiving them otherwise.
