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. After the session, the researcher tells each participant: "Thank you for participating. This study was about decision-making. Your data will be kept confidential and anonymous." Based on the ethical requirements for conducting research, evaluate the researcher's concluding statement to the participant.
