Answered by Examlex AI CopilotHindsight bias is the tendency for people to perceive events as having been more predictable than they actually were after the events have occurred. This bias can influence how much the typical student prepares for a social psychology exam in a few ways.
First, students may underestimate the amount of preparation needed for the exam because after the fact, they may believe that they should have known the material all along. This could lead to complacency and a lack of thorough studying.
Second, students may overestimate their own understanding of the material due to hindsight bias. After the exam, they may believe that they were more prepared than they actually were, leading to a false sense of confidence and potentially less preparation for future exams.
Overall, hindsight bias could lead to students not adequately preparing for the social psychology exam, as they may believe that they already know the material or that they don't need as much preparation as they actually do. This bias can ultimately impact their performance on the exam.
Provide an example of a demand characteristic that could unintentionally alter the results of an experimental research study.
(33) Answered by Examlex AI CopilotAn example of a demand characteristic that could unintentionally alter the results of an experimental research study is the "Hawthorne Effect". This refers to the alteration of participants' behavior not due to the experimental manipulation, but rather due to the fact that they are aware they are being observed. This awareness can cause participants to behave differently than they would in a natural setting, thus potentially skewing the results of the study. For instance, if a study is investigating productivity in a workplace, employees might work harder simply because they know they are being observed, not because of any specific intervention being tested. This could lead to an overestimation of the effect of the intervention.
