What are the ethical and practical considerations associated with inducing depression experimentally in normal people?
What will be an ideal response?
Inducing depression could involve psychological harm. In addition, you have to have a way to relieve the depression before you can ethically let participants leave the lab. Fortunately, the effects researchers use are temporary and quite mild.
A practical problem involves how you would induce depression. One way was developed by Velten (1967), who asked participants to read increasing more depressed-sounding statements. It had the effect of inducing a mild version of depression, or a lowered mood.
