Debriefing Script
A debriefing script is a prepared set of talking points researchers use to orally explain a study's true purpose and design to participants in simple, everyday language. Because participants may not fully read or comprehend written debriefing documents, this verbal explanation ensures clear communication regarding the research question and any necessary deception that occurred.

A researcher conducts a study on the effects of peer pressure on decision-making. Participants are led to believe they are in a group chat with other students making financial choices, but they are actually interacting with a computer program designed to pressure them into making risky decisions.
