Participants interpret cues from the experimenter (investigator effects) and research situation. They may change their behaviour as a result.
Demand Characteristics

Standardisation
3 of 9
An attempt to evenly distribute participant differences across experimental conditions in an independent group design.
Random allocation

Counterbalancing
5 of 9
Any effect of the investigator’s behaviour (conscious or unconscious) on the research outcome (the DV)

6 of 9
First-hand from participants, collected specifically for the purposes of the research.
Primary data
7 of 9
Data collected by someone other than the person doing the research, already exists before the investigation begins.
Secondary data
