Answer:

Experimenter expectancy effect

Explanation:

The experimenter expectancy effect or observer expectancy effect postulates that when an experimenter is biased he can subconsciously influence the subjects in the experiment. Confirmation bias can now make the experimenter look for results that supports his bias.

This is evident in this instance where some students were given normal rats and told they were intelligent. The rats actually did better because the experimenters believed they were smarter than the other rats.

AysviL [449]

Answer: naturalistic observation

Explanation: Naturalistic observation is a technique used in the study of subjects in their natural habitat without any manipulation or interference from the observer. The aim of naturalistic observation is to describe in detail the behaviour of an organism in their natural setting, situation or habitat.

Conducting a naturalistic observation offers some advantages which include:

I) allowing investigation of behaviours that occur in complex social settings.

II) allowing the researcher to gather qualitative as well as quantitative data and

III) allowing the development of theories based on collected observations etc.

However, it is less useful in studying well-defined hypotheses under precisely specified conditions since they are typically designed not to confirm previously formed hypotheses.
