BOYNTON, MARCELLA H.; PORTNOY, DAVID B.; JOHNSON, BLAIR T.
- Abstract
The article examines the hypothesis that deception in psychological research has a negative impact on the self-esteem and affect of research participants as well as on their perceptions of the researchers and their deceptive practices.

Topics include false feedback, deceptive task instructions, and the interpersonal deception of experimenter professionalism.
