Sociology
One of the ethical problems with covert participant observation is:
not being able to write comprehensive fieldnotes or record conversations
deceiving the respondents as to the reason for your presence
observing people outside of their natural setting
subjecting the participants to physical harm
deceiving the respondents as to the reason for your presence
Participant observation can be overt (when those being observed are aware of the researcher’s presence and know how the data will be used) or covert (when people are either unaware of the researcher’s presence or mistaken about their reasons for being there). The latter involves deception and so is widely regarded as unethical, although it can sometimes be justified if no other research methods could be used. 83-87
