Researchers are proposing an experiment on whether discussing financial decisions in teams will make individuals feel more knowledgeable about finances. There are plans for four subjects in each group, but one of the four group members will be a confederate who will keep taking the group off task and making unhelpful remarks. Participants will be allowed to leave immediately after answering a questionnaire about the experiment. Will this experiment receive IRB approval?
What will be an ideal response?
No. This violates IRB’s deceit policy. Use of a confederate is deceit because the
participants will not be informed and he was the only person present who knew of the
motives. In addition, there is no planned debriefing to reveal the deceit. This will not be approved by the IRB.
