    Where possible, participants are asked to provide consent to be part of the study, if they are under 18 years of age, parental consent will be required. If it is not possible to seek consent from participants, then a similar group of people will be asked if they would agree to participate in the experiment. All participants must receive information regarding the purpose of the study, expected risks, the length of time the subject is expected to participate, and other things. All participants should be able to discuss the procedure and results with the psychologist. If they were deceived, they need to be told and explained why, as well as their role in the experiment. All questions should be answered honestly and as completely as possible. All data and information obtained from participants must remain anonymous unless full consent is given, no names may be used in any report of the study. Any participant can leave the survey at any time if they feel uncomfortable, while withdrawing their data. They should be informed of this at the start of the study and should not be pressured to continue if they feel concerned.
