Identify two ways in which debriefing benefits the participant and one way in which it benefits the researcher.

What will be an ideal response?


Debriefing can benefit the participant by removing any harmful effects or misconceptions about participation, explaining the need for deception, leaving the participant with positive feelings about his or her participation, and/or educating the participant about the research project and about research in general. Debriefing can benefit the researcher by providing an opportunity to find out the participant's perceptions of the research situation and any treatments that had been administered. Debriefing also can provide leads for future research and identify problems in research procedures.
