Dr. Puni will strive to reduce demand characteristics in his study because it refers to cues in the study that can lead participants to guess the researcher's hypothesis or act in a way that they believe is expected. By reducing demand characteristics, Dr. Puni can ensure that the participants' responses are natural and unbiased, which will not reveal his hypothesis.
