Examples of informed consent in the following topics:
-
- Valid consent means a participant is aware of all relevant context surrounding the research they are participating in, including both risks and benefits.
- Failure to ensure informed consent is likely to result in the harm of potential participants and others who may be affected indirectly.
- Two approaches have been suggested to minimize such difficulties: pre-consent (including authorized deception and generic pre-consent) and minimized deception.
- Pre-consent involves informing potential participants that a given research study involves an element of deception without revealing its exact nature.
- This approach respects the autonomy of individuals because subjects consent to the deception.
-

- Even seemingly trivial information should be kept safe, because it is impossible to predict what the repercussions would be in the event that this information becomes public.
- Unless subjects specifically and explicitly give their consent to be associated with the published information, no real names or identifying information of any kind should be used.
- It is the obligation of the researcher to protect the private information of the research subjects, particularly when studying sensitive and controversial topics like deviance, the results of which may harm the participants if they were to be personally identified.

- Definitions of rape and consent have evolved over time.
- Girls as young as six could be married without their consent.
- Most states set of the age of consent at 18 and maintain that younger children are incapable of freely giving their consent.
- In modern legal understanding, consent may be explicit or implied by context, but the absence of objection never itself constitutes consent, and consent can be withdrawn at any time.

-
- Further, many people practice polyamory, which refers to the acceptance, desire, and experience of more than one intimate relationship at a time with the consent of all involved (note this differs from polygamy, which refers to multiple spouses rather than relationships and which historically, religiously, and culturally does not necessarily require the consent of all parties involved).
