So, do a bit of reading from your text book or do a Google search of the topic first. Then you can post your question but add.........
"I was thinking blah blah blah and blah blah blah because ............
Does anybody have any other ideas ?"

Apologies for resurfacing a 4 years old thread, but I have just started learning about ethics and have the same question.
I was thinking that the ethical issue may be protection from harm? Because the participant may have experiences of short term psychological effects of discomfort?
Or, perhaps, the ethical issue is that there is a lack of privacy? As the participant is unaware that they are taking part in a study, so had no decision as to who would or wouldn't know personal information about them?

If they're unaware that they are being studied, lack of informed consent would definetly be a major ethical issue

I also have to answer the question of whether this issue is significant or not...
I was thinking that this is a significant issue because the participant would want to know what they are letting themselves in for and what any possible risks of the study/experiment may be. As this is an experiment which could be a cause for discomfort and is rather invasive, it is necessary for the participant to be aware of this?
Either that, or the issue is not significant due to the fact that if the researcher provided comprehensive information, it could influence the participant's behaviour and reduce the meaningfulness of the research?

Ohh ok, thank you - that makes sense.

i would say it's very significant since it would decide whether the ppt would actually agree or not to take part in the experiment. however of course it could lead to e.g demand characteristics like you said. you could mention that one way to go about it is not gain consent before hand, but do a debrief after the experiment and only use the results if the ppt consents then.

I don't think that we need to provide a solution for this, and that we just need to state whether the issue is significant or not and why (as we haven't got as far as ways of dealing with issues yet). In this case, would it be significant as it could cause psychological harm to the participant as they may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, maybe?
If there wasn't this discomfort, and it was an experiment to do with recall of words for example, informed consent would not be a significant issue?

yes, definetly, it would be a much more significant issue if it has a possibility of causing harm than if it was like you said, recalling words.
