Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Video cameras and one-way mirrors create the perception of being observed by a third party, which typically prompts the assessees to respond as if they are being evaluated by someone else. This perception can also affect their behavior and responses during the assessment. Option A is not necessarily true as the primary focus of the assessees is still the task at hand. Option B is possible but not always the case. Option D is unlikely as the assesses are aware that they are taking part in an evaluation.
