A researcher investigated obedience by secretly filming members of the public on a high street. An actor dressed as a security guard ordered passers-by to stand on one leg for two minutes. Most complied with the instruction. The participants were only told about the true nature of the study if they stopped to talk to the researcher afterwards; several participants walked away quickly and were not debriefed.
Identify one ethical issue that occurred in this investigation and explain how the researcher could have addressed this issue.
