Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The level of reactivity is reduced during longer observational periods because participants become more comfortable (rapport is established), the novelty of the situation decreases (novel stimuli fades into the background), and participants find it harder to maintain a false front over time. However, making the observation more structured does not inherently reduce reactivity; it could potentially increase it by making participants more aware of being observed.
