• Sharing only favorable results

What is the main focus of the principle of non-maleficence in scientific research?

• Ensuring no harm is ever caused

• Balancing harm against the benefits of research

• Completely avoiding any risky procedures

• Prioritizing financial gains over participant safety

According to the principle of beneficence, what must researchers prioritize in a medical study?

• The financial benefits of the research

• Participants must agree to the publication of the experiment results.

• Participants must be paid for their involvement in the experiment.

Under what condition is "Use of deception" considered acceptable in research?

• When the truth could potentially harm the research outcomes.

• When all participants agree to be deceived.

• When the research does not involve human participants.

• When the research is about psychological testing only.

What does "Voluntary participation" ensure in the context of ethical research?

• Participants can leave the study at any time without any penalty.
