Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evaluation apprehension refers to the concern that participants have about how they will be perceived or judged by others in a research study. This can increase participants' motivation to respond in a socially desirable manner, which can lead to biases in the data. It is not directly related to the likelihood of dropping out of a study, and it does not have a direct effect on confounding variables such as history or measurement.
