A double bind is a dilemma in communication in which an individual (or group) receives two or more conflicting messages, with one message negating the other. This creates a situation in which a successful response to one message implicates a failed response to the other, so that the person will be automatically wrong regardless of response. The person can neither comment on the conflict, nor resolve it, nor opt out of the situation. A double bind generally includes different levels of abstraction in orders of messages, and these messages can be stated or implicit within the context of the situation, or conveyed by tone of voice or body language. Further complications arise when frequent double binds are part of an ongoing relationship to which the person or group is committed.
The classic example given of a negative double bind is of a mother telling her child that she loves him, while at the same time turning her head away in disgust.[5] (The words are socially acceptable; the body language is in conflict with it). The child doesn't know how to respond to the conflict between the words and the body language and, because s/he is dependent on his mother for his or her basic needs, is in a quandary. Small children have difficulty articulating contradictions verbally and can neither ignore them nor leave the relationship. Another example is when one is commanded to "be spontaneous". The very command contradicts spontaneity, but it only becomes a double bind when one can neither ignore the command nor comment on the contradiction. Often, the contradiction in communication isn't apparent to bystanders unfamiliar with previous communications.

What kind of study doesn't tell the participants or the researchers which group is is the control or experimental group?
Double blind.
When testing a new drug researchers control for a placebo effect by using?
A placebo effect
The experimental procedure in which both the experimenter and subject are unaware of who is in the experimental and who is in the control group is referred to as the?
Double blind experiment.
Why might a double-blind study yield more reliable results than a single-blind study?
In single blind studies, the experimenter (or observer) is aware of who or what belongs to the control group and the experimental group.In double blind studies, the experimenter is not aware of who/what belongs to which group. This is to eliminate the subjective bias an experimenter may have.
What is the different between single blind study and double blind study?
In a single blind study, the subject being studied does not know whether he is part of the experimental group or control group, but the researcher recording the results does know. In a double blind, neither the subject nor the observer knows to which group in the experiment the subject belongs.
Is an experiment in which participants do not know if they are in the experimental or the control group but the experimenters do know which particants are part of which group?
double blind technique
Double blinded studies control for?

When conducting a double-blind medical study the group taking the placebo is called the control group what is the other group called?
The other group in a double-blind medical study, which receives the active treatment or intervention being tested, is called the treatment group. This group is compared to the control group to assess the effects of the intervention being studied.
Can you control being blind?
no
What research design in which neither the researchers performing the intervention nor the research subjects know whether they are in the control group or the active intervention group is?
A research design in which both the researchers and participants are unaware of who is in the control or intervention group is called a double-blind study. This design helps eliminate bias and placebo effects in research studies by ensuring that neither the researchers nor the participants can influence the results based on their knowledge of the group assignment. Double-blind studies are commonly used in medical and psychological research.
What is a blind trial?
A blind trial is a trial in which the subject does not know if he is part of the experimental group or the control group. In the case of a pharmaceutical trial, a blind study would be one in which the patients participating in the study would not know if they were being given the actual drug or a placebo. A double-blind trial is one in which neither the patients nor the doctors involved in the study know which patients are in the control group and which patients are in the experimental group.
