What is an Experimental Bias?
A preference towards a result expected by the human experimenter
The variable not controlled by the experimenter?
The dependent variable which is measured. or Manipulated variable which is changed by the experimenter.
When an experimenter unintentionally gives cues to participants about the way they are expected to behave?
experimental bias
Is experimenter bias included in the scientific process?
People who perform experiments take some care to avoid introducing their personal bias into the results. But even if there is a bias, the same experiment may be done by other people who have other biases or who are more successful in working in an unbiased manner. Eventually, truth will emerge.
Who is a persone who does experiments?
They're called 'subjects'
What is experimental bias?
Experimenter Bias, also known as Experimenter Expectancy, is made up of all the things an experimenter might unwittingly do to influence the results of an experiment to resemble his hypothesis. You could consider this a self-fulfilling prophecy to some extent.
What does the word bias mean in science?
In science, bias is an undesirable property, whose presence may not be recognized by the experimenter. A maladjusted measuring standard would produce such an error. In intellect tests, cultural bias may be very difficult for the experimenter to recognize.

In which of these does a experimenter want to prevent variation?
controlled variable (A+)

What is the role of replication in research?
Replication reduces the chances that findings are due to experimenter bias, methodological flaws, or sampling errors
What is the role of replication in psychological research?
Replication reduces the chances that findings are due to experimenter bias, methodological flaws, or sampling errors
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 difference between manipulated variables and controlled variables?
They are the same. These are names for the variables in an experiment that are controlled by the experimenter, as opposed to the output variables, the results you collect at the end of the experiment Hope this helped!
