Question

According to the principle of _____ researchers are responsible for keeping all of the data they gather on individuals completely, when possible, anonymous.

Answer 1

According to the principle of confidentiality, researchers are responsible for keeping all of the data they gather on individuals completely, when possible, anonymous. It is a form of respect to the respondents of a research. Not everyone would like someone to expose data of them, specially sensitive data, to the public. If a research would not follow this principle, then most likely no one would like to answer or respond to his queries.
