I'm working on a Project where i want the participants to only fill the survey when they're are in a state of anxiety or panic to get the most accurate answers about how they feel about certain designs.
Ethically, this seems very wrong. How can i get the results which are truest to real life scenarios to determine what works in ?
If you are in a panic attack you probably do not go to the computer to fill in a form.
You can administer Beck anxiety inventory (BAI) and people can fill in all the symptoms they experience, I am sure they remember the symptoms well after some attacks.

Dear Özcan Asuli
In my opinion, the main problem is with the design of research, not ethical issues. I mean how would you find participants who answer your questionnaire? If it is really important to you to take some responses right after a panic attack, maybe it's better to interview hospitalized patients or wait for individuals who come to emergency centers after a traumatic experience. After all, I think an interview is more ethically appropriate in these sorts of research, instead of questionnaires.
Best,
Practically it is very unlikely that somebody would have the capacity to fill in a questionnaire when in a state of panic. You may be able to request that people fill it in as soon as possible afterwards and say how long since they experienced panic. Depending on your hypothesis you probably need to rethink what is realistic to ask of people.
