Consent and Debriefing

It is imperative for psychology students to learn how to create informed consent and debriefing forms that adequately state the purpose of studies to the participants in an ethical manner. In your capstone class it is an expectation that you have a created a consent and debriefing form for your research proposal. It will be beneficial if you create this assignment around the topic you would like to research.

Before you begin the assignment, view the APA website and read the ethics listings.

Refer to the "Library Resource" in Topic 1 Resources to assist you in conducting your online research.

Using the  Library, research consent and debriefing forms.

Create an informed consent form and a debriefing form that explains the nature and true purpose of the study. For various informed consent templates view the textbook page 39 and the CIRT website listed in topic Resources. See the attached document for a debriefing example. Be sure to cite your sources at the conclusion of the document.

Utilize the  library to locate two to four scholarly articles to support your content.
