In psychological surveies. ethical issues associated with misrepresentation have ever the major concern country. It is mostly been viewed as something which in long will do consequence on participants’ willingness to be a portion of any psychological research. The contention associated with this issue has itself led to many researches to determine the positiveness and negativeness associated with the usage of misrepresentation in psychological research. The findings of those researches have been contradictory. Some research worker has indicated that usage of misrepresentation has a really negative impact on participant’s perceptual experience of research workers and hence reduces the possibility of its farther engagement in the on-going undertaking every bit good as any other research in future ( Tuffin. 2005 )

While on the other manus there are groundss that misrepresentation has positive consequence and participants have reported that they really enjoyed being deceived and showed positive engagement in the researches in which they are being deceived and experience more benefited than those without misrepresentation. Hence it becomes more apparent that misrepresentation has fundamentally no consequence on participants and neither reduces nor additions their willingness in taking portion in any future researches irrespective of those necessitating misrepresentation or non ( Lefkowitz. 2003 ) .

The above mentioned two contradictory penchants related to deception really gives a image which shows that the people have no clear significance of misrepresentation and it varies from individual to individual i. e. . they have different interceptions of what it really means. This reinforces the demand for farther research and hence underscores the demand for an expanded probe to calculate out the possible effects of misrepresentation in a prospective participant and the psychological survey.

The beginning of this new research could be initiated through a controlled environment when some of the participants and informed about the usage of misrepresentation while some are non informed. The concluding aim is to determine the existent impact of misrepresentation when both research workers every bit good the participants have better apprehension of misrepresentation ( O’Donohue. 2003 ) .
