Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensitization effects refer to the increased responsiveness to a stimulus due to repeated exposure. This concept is often discussed in the context of experimental research, where participants' behavior might change not because of the experimental manipulation itself, but because they become more sensitive or reactive to the situation or the fact that they are being studied. Options A (change of behavior), B (demand characteristics), and D (hypothesis guessing) can all be associated with sensitization effects as they involve participants altering their behavior in response to their awareness of being studied or their perceptions of what the study is about. Selection bias (C), however, is a different concept related to how participants are chosen for a study, which can affect the generalizability of the findings but is not directly related to sensitization effects.
