A researcher studying cognitive performance identifies that a planned 2-hour uninterrupted testing session is likely to cause excessive participant frustration. To address this, they break the task into four 30-minute sessions with rest periods. True or False: This change effectively applies a risk-minimization strategy by analyzing the procedure to isolate and reduce a specific hazard (duration) while maintaining the study's focus on the primary variable (cognitive performance).

How can researchers effectively minimize psychological risks to participants after identifying potential hazards in their study design?
Match each risk-reduction strategy with the specific participant concern it is designed to address in a psychological research study.
A researcher studying the effects of frustration on problem-solving realizes that their original plan to use an impossible 2-hour task is causing participants excessive distress. Arrange the steps the researcher should take to apply the strategy of 'minimizing risks through research design modification' to this study.

According to the strategy of minimizing risks through research design modification, how can researchers reduce potential hazards to participants while keeping the study effective?
If a researcher identifies that their planned experimental procedure might cause severe participant frustration, the strategy of research design modification requires them to completely abandon their research question.
A researcher evaluates a study and determines that a planned task causes excessive frustration in participants. By choosing to simplify the task to reduce stress while ensuring the study remains effective, the researcher is utilizing research design _____ as an ethical strategy.
Match each researcher's modification scenario to the specific risk-minimization strategy they are applying.
A researcher decides to simplify a highly complex experimental procedure to prevent participant frustration. By implementing this risk minimization strategy, the researcher ensures the study remains _____ while subjecting participants to less stress.
Order the steps a researcher should follow to evaluate and modify their research design to address participant risk while maintaining the study's validity.
