Document Summary
Want subject not discover your true hypothesis (use cover story) Cover story must misdirect without effecting the behavior of subjects that effects hypothesis. How to create your own findings (vokey and read 1985) Confirmation bias and demand often work together. Judas priest song played backward -*do it, do it* suicide case and parents sue. Ss listen to backwards recorded passages from the bible and jabberwocky. Iv: instruction: group 1 (not primed to hear satanic messages) tell us what you hear in this recording , group 2 (primed to hear satanic messages) do you hear any satanic phrases? . Dv: % of ss whos report hearing satanic messages: group 1 results only 1% of subjects reported satanic messages (nothing, group2 resuts 90% reported satanic messages. Created results to demand, the question frames the result and behavior of the subjects. Ask questions like group 1 not group 2, due to question creating misleading results.
