The document discusses two ethical issues in psychology: confidentiality and debriefing. Confidentiality is important to protect respondents from harm, as leaking sensitive personal information of vulnerable groups like minors could have negative consequences. Debriefing is also important so that participants understand any potential consequences of the research and can properly consent to participation.

Honestly, I am concerned about two things about the ethical issues in
psychology. First is confidentiality, confidentiality is important for everyone, not
just for the research participants. All of us do not want our personal information to be leaked to others. When you conduct a research, and interview a respondent, you must blur their face, so that they can stay anonymous, unless you have the permit to show the respondent's face. This also applies when you survey a respondent, their answers must not be shown to others. The primary purpose of confidentiality is to ensure that the respondents will be protected from any harm. If the information of vulnerable populations like minors and employees is leaked, they may face negative consequences (Kaiser, 2009). Secondly is debriefing, debriefing is important so the respondents or the participants in your research know what consequences they may face. Debriefing also explains what they need to do, and the procedures that they will undergo. Without debriefing, the participants would not know the consequences that they will face. When the participants are debriefed, they can properly think about whether they would like to participate or not.
