|
Term
|
Definition
| Responses to an experimental manipulation that reflect what the research participants think is expected of them rather than their true responses (Asche Experiment) |

|
Term
|
Definition
| The bias introduced when a research participant's response reflects the experimenter's expectations, which have been unintentionally communicated; the participants knows what you want and tellt that to you unconsciously. |

Term
|
Definition
