"The use of deception. Psychologists can use deceptive techniques as part of the study only when two conditions have been met: (1) It is not feasible to use alternatives that do not involve deception, and (2) the potential findings justify the use of deception because of their scientific, educational, or applied value."
WHAT. This seems really weird to me. Perhaps 'deception' just has a negative connotation, but this still sounds vaguely unethical. Can you think of situations where this happens? What do you think about it?
