At the end of a statistical study investigating the immediate impact of social media exposure on self-esteem, researchers administered a mood self-assessment questionnaire to participants. To ensure ethical standards were met, they provided the following short debriefing statement to participants:
'Thank you for participating in our study on social media and mood. We have recorded your self-esteem scores to analyze the relationship between image exposure and self-worth. If you would like to know the overall results of the study, feel free to email us.'
Suggest two additional points that should be included in this debriefing statement to ensure the ethical treatment of these participants.
