In a large, preregistered study (see preprint), we compared InteroMap to emBODY. Overall, InteroMap demonstrated superior construct validity and usability

We discuss whether this Truth Beliefs Conditioning effect should be considered an experimental demand artifact, and whether it matters.

This research follows-up on a recent article that examined three outstanding questions raised by instruction-based procedures:

Instruction-based Replication Studies Raise Challenging Questions for Psychological Science
A variety of psychological effects have been recently replicated in studies where participants merely received information describing experimental tasks, while participants experienced these tasks in ...

This overturns familiar assumptions of perceivers as “cognitive misers” and calls for rethinking how we conceptualize automatic evaluations.

Even with skin tone as a group marker and explicit instructions to form group-based impressions, people relied more on the actual characteristics of the individual they encountered.

In case you find it useful, we have recently elaborated on this issue here (see section 5.1): doi.org/10.1111/spc3...
Evaluative Conditioning has a Vexing Demand Problem
Attitude research has long been concerned with the potential influence of demand characteristics in evaluative conditioning effects. Here, we argue that this concern remains justified and cannot be r....

I found the general discussion rather cautious, but this point might be further elaborated on. Another issue is that these manipulations are sometimes totally ineffective (Ps simply don't trust a hypothesis that runs against commonsense) but this does not seem to apply in this case 3/

As a result, demand effects may operate differently in these studies vs. in original procedures where the experimental hypothesis is not directly communicated. The same issue applies when probing demand effects based on instruction-based replication procedures 2/

If I may add a few thoughts, a major issue with this widespread approach to demand effects is that experimenters usually do not tell their Ps about their hypothesis. This communication creates unique demand characteristics that may consequentially depart from the original procedure 1/

New research shows that simply changing how a reaction vessel is positioned on a magnetic stirrer can significantly change a reaction's speed and product quality, influencing the reproducibility of results. #ChemSky #ScienceSky #EduSky
Position of flask on magnetic stirrers can drastically affect reproducibility of experiments
Comprehensive examination reveals improper siting of reaction vessels can affect catalyst formation, alter nanoparticle formation and change yields
