A subject's right to self-determination can be violated through the use of (1) coercion, (2) covert data collection, and (3) deception. Coercion occurs when one person intentionally presents another with an overt threat of harm or the lure of excessive reward to obtain compliance. Sometimes students feel forced to participate in research to protect their grades or prevent negative relationships with the faculty conducting the research. They are being coerced.
