Why should we be cautious in accepting research results if the experimenter has changed wording in the instructions to different participants?
What will be an ideal response?
Small changes in wording can lead to differences in the behavior of participants. Research has shown that people's memories can be influenced by subtle changes in the way questions are asked. In addition, as participants try to figure out how best to help the experimenter, they try to interpret the instructions appropriately. Different wording can lead to different interpretations.
