Knowledge of the placement of participants into the various conditions of an experiment could lead to results based on subjective expectations rather than objective, as well as accurate results. What is this called?
 
  A) Placebo effect
  B) Double blind
  C) Single blind
  D) Experimenter bias

Question 2

Dr. Stanley conducted an experiment regarding the effect that various colors have on mood.
 
  His original hypothesis stated that colors on the lower end of the electromagnetic
  spectrum (approximately 450nm-550nm) would produce the greatest levels of elation
  (good mood) whereas colors on the higher end of the spectrum (approximately 600nm-
  700nm) would produce the lowest levels of elation (bad mood). Dr. Stanley put one
  group of participants in a room in which the only colors were those which exist on the
  spectrum between 450nm-550nm. Then he put another group of people in a room in
  which the only colors were those which exist on the spectrum between 600nm-700nm.
  He then personally interviewed each of the participants and rated their subsequent level
  of elation (mood). His findings, which support his hypothesis, indicate that participants
  who were in the room with colors between 450nm-550nm were subsequently found to
  have greater levels of elation (better mood) than those in the 600nm-700nm colored
  room. A potential problem with this experiment may be ________________, and one
  way that Dr. Stanley could have prevented this may have been to use a ______________.
  A) Placebo effect :: Double blind design
  B) Experimenter bias :: Double blind design
  C) Placebo effect :: Placebo control group
  D) Experimenter bias :: Single blind design

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
