Unit 3 – Sensation and Perception
Topic 3.2
Why might conducting an experiment on visual illusion without notifying participants be considered unethical?
It misrepresents information which breaches honesty principles in research ethics codes.
Visual illusions are universally accepted and hence it's ethical to use them in experiments.
Allowing participants to see visual illusions isn't harmful and therefore not unethical.
It's only unethical if the results of the experiment are published.
