Confidentiality
Confidentiality is an agreement between researchers and participants not to disclose personal information without explicit consent. To actively maintain confidentiality and minimize risks, researchers should keep signed consent forms physically separate from the collected data to prevent linking individuals to their responses. Additionally, researchers should respect privacy by only collecting personal information that is strictly necessary to answer their research question, avoiding irrelevant sensitive details.

Deception in Research
A researcher is studying the effects of stress on cognitive performance. Participants are told they will be solving a series of difficult puzzles. However, the researcher intentionally provides an unsolvable puzzle and introduces loud, intermittent noises to create a stressful environment. After the allotted time, participants are thanked for their time and dismissed without being told that the puzzle was impossible or that the study's real purpose was to observe their reactions to frustration and stress.
