Question 48

Eight adults who work at a small community theatre complete a questionnaire about how stressful they find their work. Everyone agrees to take part. The psychologist replaces each name with a code number, but plans to publish each participant's exact job title, such as theatre manager or box office assistant, beside their answers.

Explain why the psychologist's plan does not fully protect the confidentiality of the participants. Suggest one change that would correct this problem.
