- 8. a formal and testable statement, the researcher decides wether the evidence supports this or not.
- 9. Two words. A cue that makes participants unconsciously aware of the aims of a study or helps participants work out what the researcher expects to find.
- 12. Two words. When the participant acts on their own decisions
