Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The threat to external validity in this scenario is the artificial treatment, where the treatment being used in the experiment is not a realistic representation of what would occur in real life. This can limit the ability to generalize the findings of the study to real-world settings. The other options listed (reactivity, maturation, Hawthorne Effect) refer to different threats to internal validity.
