Answer:

In general, deception is not acceptable in human studies. Step-by-step explanation:Occasionally, it is necessary to mislead the participants who are subjects of a study in order to obtain unbiased information. The Institute Review Board (IRB) must review very carefully the proposals that use deception or misrepresentation.

Answer:

Deception is the act or practice of deceiving—lying, misleading, or otherwise hiding or distorting the truth. It should never be acceptable because you are leading someone to think something is true when the exact opposite might be true.

Hope that helps
