Informed Consent for Recording Voices and Images
According to the APA Ethics Code, researchers must obtain informed consent from participants before recording their voices or images for data collection. However, two primary exceptions exist: consent is not required if the study consists solely of naturalistic observations in public places where personal identification or harm is unanticipated, or if the research design involves deception and consent for using the recording is obtained later during the debriefing process.
