Answer to Question 1

The term demand characteristic refers to an experimental design element that unintentionally provides subjects with hints about the research hypothesis. So, knowledge of the experimental hypothesis creates a confound known as a demand effect. Demand characteristics are aspects of an experiment that demand (encourage) that the subjects respond in a particular way, hence being a source of systematic error. Ways of reducing demand characteristics include:
(1) Use an experimental disguise
(2) Isolate experimental subjects
(3) Use a blind experimental administrator
(4) Administer only one experimental treatment level to each subject
