Answer to Question 1

A manipulation check is used in situations where there is some doubt as to whether the intended manipulation of the independent variable was successful. Common examples are (1) manipulation of the participants' feeling or attitudes, (2) subtle manipulations, and (3) simulations that may not be perceived as real by the participants. In each case, the intent of the manipulation check is to determine whether the original manipulation was successful.

Answer to Question 2

False
