Mechanisms¶
- Blind Affective Response Probe
- The classic misuse is a leading prompt — "doesn't this feel calm?" — which reintroduces demand characteristics
This sourceExplains that cues about an experiment’s purpose can lead participants to behave in ways that satisfy perceived experimental demands.
- The classic misuse is a leading prompt — "doesn't this feel calm?" — which reintroduces demand characteristics
- Single-Blind Participant Masking
- Its strength is pragmatic: it is far cheaper and simpler than double-blinding and still closes the recipient's channel, controlling demand characteristics — the tendency of participants to behave according to what they infer the study wants.
This sourceDefines demand characteristics as participants changing behavior in response to what they infer the study expects and supports masking participant-side cues.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
