Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reactance is a psychological reaction to the perceived threat of someone attempting to restrict our freedom or choices. In this scenario, the personal questions may be seen as an attempt to restrict the participant's privacy, and their negative response (such as being rude or giving incorrect information) would be a form of reactance. Experimental realism refers to the degree to which a study feels real to the participant, confederate behavior refers to the use of actors in a study, and mundane realism refers to the degree to which a study reflects real-life situations. None of these concepts fully applies to the scenario described.
