Offering Inducements for Research Participation
When recruiting participants for a study, psychologists must make reasonable efforts to avoid offering excessive or inappropriate financial or other inducements, as such rewards can become coercive. If researchers offer professional services as an incentive, they must clearly explain the nature of those services, including any associated risks, obligations, and limitations.
