Question 9

A psychologist investigates how being observed affects performance. Adults receive an information sheet that says only that they will complete number puzzles for 20 minutes. They then sign to agree to take part. During the task, a panel watches each participant through a live video link and records every mistake. Some participants later say that they found this embarrassing.

Outline whether the adults gave informed consent to take part in this study.
