Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In hypothesis guessing, participants try to discern the true purpose of the experiment, which can lead to biased responses. This can happen if participants alter their behavior to align with what they believe the experimenter is looking for or if they try to intentionally deceive the experimenter. Evaluation apprehension is a related concept but refers specifically to participants' concern about being evaluated or judged by the experimenter. Researcher expectancies and construct confounding do not relate to participants' attempts to guess the true purpose of the experiment.
