Question 30

Dr Lewis expects a short guided-imagery exercise to reduce participants' feelings of tension. He interviews each participant afterwards. When a participant who completed the exercise says that they feel calm, he nods and asks them to say more. When a participant reports no change, he moves on to the next question. Dr Lewis then selects the quotations used in his report.

Explain two ways Dr Lewis could reduce experimenter bias in this study.
