Answer to Question 1

Sequence effects occur when there is a progressive effect of participating in multiple conditions, regardless of the order (e.g., fatigue or boredom). Order effects occur when behavior in one condition differs because of what the participant has specifically gone through in a previous condition.

Answer to Question 2

According to Plous (1996a, b) a sizeable majority of psychologists (over 85) consider research with animals acceptable when it involves naturalistic observation. A smaller majority (over 60) thinks research with confined, laboratory animals is appropriate. A third or less think that research involving pain or death is worthwhile. Undergraduate psychology students are highly similar to their professors. Among the general public, there is a high level of support for research involving some animals (i.e., rats) but not for others (i.e., dogs).
