Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Demand characteristics are subtle cues in an experiment that suggest to participants how they should behave, such as the experimenter's expectations or the design of the study. This can lead to participants altering their behavior or responses to match what they believe the experimenter wants to see, which can compromise the validity of the study.
