The social desirability tendency refers to the tendency of individuals to answer questions in a way that they believe will be viewed favorably by others or conform to societal norms. Choosing a different answer out of fear of judgement or social consequences is an example of this tendency. The Stroop effect refers to the phenomenon of delayed reaction time and errors in naming the color of words when the word itself is the name of a different color. Acquiescence refers to the tendency to agree or say yes to questions, regardless of whether or not it reflects one's true beliefs. The good subject tendency refers to the tendency of participants to behave in a way that they perceive as cooperative or helpful towards the experimenter, which may influence their responses.
