What ethical principle helps protect people who participate in psychological research projects?

  1. Right to Privacy

  2. Right to Explanation

  3. Right to be Informed

  4. Right to Withdraw

The correct answer is: Right to be Informed

The principle of "Right to be Informed" is a fundamental ethical principle in psychological research that ensures participants are fully informed about the purpose, procedures, potential benefits and risks of the study, and that their consent is obtained before their participation. The principle of "Right to Privacy" may be relevant in certain research studies, but it is not the primary ethical principle for protecting participants in psychological research projects. "Right to Explanation" and "Right to Withdraw" are not specific ethical principles related to psychological research, and therefore, are not correct answers.
