Description
Deception has been a useful tool in the study of human behavior, and for that reason has been employed frequently in psychological research. However, a number of authors have suggested that the long term use of deception in psychological research might be creating a negative attitude toward the discipline in the participant pool. Attitude toward the use of deception as a method in psychological research was assessed in both experienced and naive participants. The results indicated that experienced participants were significantly less likely to be willing to volunteer for a subsequent study than were naive participants and that college students were more likely than any other age-group surveyed to be unwilling to participate again. These findings suggest that the long-term use of deception in the discipline might be creating the "reputational spillover effect" described by Ortmann and Hertwig (1997). **********
