Detecting Demand Characteristics in Pilot Tests
A key function of a pilot test is to identify whether the study design contains demand characteristics. Researchers use this preliminary phase to see if participants can easily guess the research question or hypothesis, allowing them to adjust the procedure before these cues can skew the actual experiment's results.
