Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Demand characteristics refer to how participants in an experiment can be influenced by cues or expectations of the experimenter. Evidence suggests that participants ascribe meaning and purpose to the experimental situation, which can affect their behavior and responses. This means that they are not passive and can be influenced by the situation they are in. However, there is no evidence to suggest that subjects have demanding personality traits or can be easily fooled by the experimenter.
