[acb-hsp] Participants still needed for online research study

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi Linda,
I cannot share details about the study hypotheses with people before
they participate, unfortunately. Some researchers have found that when
people know what a researcher is expecting to find in an experiment,
they often tend to answer questions differently than they ordinarily
would, sometimes without even realizing it. (you can google
"experimenter demand effects" for more information about this
phenomenon). I would, however, be happy to talk more about hypotheses
with people who have completed the research.
Best,
Arielle
