Debriefing is a standard ethical requirement for human research involving the use of deception. Little systematic attention, however, has been devoted to explaining the ethical significance of debriefing and the specific ethical functions that it serves. In this article, we develop an account of debriefing as a tool of moral accountability for the prima facie wrong of deception. Specifically, we contend that debriefing should include a responsibility to promote transparency by explaining the deception and its rationale, to provide an apology to subjects for infringing the principle of respect for persons, and to offer subjects an opportunity to withdraw their data. We also present recommendations concerning the discussion of deception in scientific articles reporting the results of research using deception.
汇报是涉及使用欺骗手段的人体研究的一项标准伦理要求。然而，很少有系统的关注致力于解释汇报的伦理意义及其所发挥的具体伦理功能。在本文中，我们将汇报阐述为一种针对欺骗这一表面错误的道德问责工具。具体而言，我们认为汇报应包括通过解释欺骗行为及其理由来促进透明度的责任，就侵犯尊重人的原则向受试者道歉，以及为受试者提供撤回其数据的机会。我们还针对在报告使用欺骗手段的研究结果的科学文章中对欺骗行为的讨论提出了建议。
