informed consent
–> reliability of cognitive processes
When studying the cognitive processes, following informed consent is important because experiments are often used in which an independent factor is manipulated and the impact on one’s cognition is measured. It is possible that there could be psychological or even physical harm caused due to the manipulation of said independent factors. Because of this researchers should make sure they gain informed consent (including how the study will be conducted) before conducting the experiment. However, giving away too much information could influence the behavior of the participants.
anonymity
–> reliability of cognitive processes
When studying cognitive processes, following anonymity is important because experiments are often used because an independent variable is manipulated and the impact on one’s cognition is measured. It is possible that the behavior the participant exhibited is not seen as ‘favorable’ and therefore lead to the participant being discriminated against should it ever be revealed that it was them.
informed consent
–> individual and group
When studying the individual and the group (such as social cognitive theory), following informed consent is important because experiments are often used in which a social factor is manipulated and the impact on one’s behavior and/or cognition is measured. It is possible that there could be psychological or even physical harm caused due to the manipulation of said social factors. Because of this researchers should make sure they gain informed consent (including how the study will be conducted) before conducting the experiment. However, giving away too much information could influence the behavior of the participants.

informed consent
–> brain and behaviour
In the study of the brain and behavior, the brain needs to be studied in great detail. Many times it means that the brain needs to be looked at through an fMRI. Passmonti should be aware of that and should give consent in the case that there is psychological or physical harm done. Sometimes giving too much information can affect how participants will behave.
anonymity
–> brain and behaviour
When studying the brain and behaviour, following anonymity is important because studies are often used in to observe a participants with a specific condition. It is possible that the behavior the participant exhibited is not seen as ‘favorable’ and therefore lead to the participant being discriminated against should it ever be revealed that it was that had the condition.
informed consent
—> hormones and behaviour
When studying hormones and behavior, following informed consent is important because experiments are often used in which a biological factor is manipulated and the impact on one’s behavior is measured. It is possible that there could be psychological or even physical causes due to the manipulation of said biological factors. Because of this researchers should make sure they gain informed consent (including how the study will be conducted) before conducting the experiment. However, giving away too much information could influence the behavior of the participants.
