A social psychologist conducted an observational study on social facilitation in a local fitness centre. The researcher secretly recorded gym-goers performing bench presses without their knowledge or consent, to see if the presence of an active audience affected the amount of weight lifted. No debriefing was provided after the observation because the researcher feared participants would request their video data to be deleted.
Explain how the researcher should have addressed two ethical issues in this investigation.
