🎯 Thesis Tip: Maintain Anonymity and Confidentiality! 🔒🧠📑
In Chapter 3, it’s essential to explain how participants’ identities were protected. This shows ethical rigor and builds trust with your respondents.
Here’s how to do it 👇
1️⃣ Use of Codes or Pseudonyms
💡 Example: “Participants were assigned codes (P1, P2, etc.) instead of using real names in all records and analyses.”
2️⃣ Secure Data Storage
💡 Example: “All digital files were password-protected and stored on a secure drive; hard copies were kept in a locked cabinet accessible only to the researcher.”
3️⃣ Restricted Access
💡 Example: “Only the researcher and authorized personnel had access to identifiable data.”
4️⃣ Reporting Data in Aggregate
💡 Example: “Results are presented in summaries, tables, or themes without linking responses to individuals.”
5️⃣ Anonymity in Online Tools
💡 Example: “Online questionnaires were designed to prevent collection of identifying information such as email or IP address.”

🧑‍🏫 Sample Statement

“Participants’ identities were kept confidential. Codes replaced names in all documentation, and data were securely stored. Only the researcher had access to identifiable information, and findings were reported in aggregate form to maintain anonymity.”


✅ Pro Tip: Always clarify anonymity vs. confidentiality — anonymity hides identity entirely; confidentiality protects the identity while linking data.
