Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Manipulation checks are typically conducted during the data collection process to ensure that the manipulation of the independent variable was effective in producing the intended changes in the dependent variable. However, conducting a pilot study prior to the full experiment can also be helpful in identifying any issues with the manipulation. Including manipulation checks as part of informed consent is not necessary or relevant to the research process.
