One of the reasons that participants in experiments are not told what the researcher is testing is because the participants might act differently if they knew. When this happens it is known as the:
The current study will examine the idea that exercise will interfere with performance in an attention task. In the experiment, participants will be strapped to a treadmill while they also respond verbally to images on a computer screen. The experimenter will control the speed of the treadmill during the experiment. The participant will also be told that the experiment takes 1 hour and that they will receive $250 if they successfully complete the experiment. All participants will sign a consent form if they wish to participate. To avoid distractions during the experiment, the participants will run in a soundproof room and no communication between the participants and the experimenter will be allowed after the experiment has started. However, as a safety precaution, the experimenter will continuously monitor the participants’ heart rates. After the participant is given instructions, the participant will be strapped to a restraining device that is connected to the treadmill. The participants’ task will be to respond to target stimuli by verbally identifying the objects presented. The participants will be fully debriefed after the experiment. Does the study have scientific merit? How will society or the subjects of the study benefit? Does the study place subjects at risk for either physical or psychological harm? Will subjects read and sign a consent form? Does the study use deception? If it does, will the subjects be fully debriefed? Will the subjects’ data be kept confidential? Do you have any other concerns about the study? If so, what are they? Do you have suggestions?
