Psychosocial Attributes
The experimenter attributes discussed in Chapter 4 were all readily assessable by inspection. This chapter discusses experimenter attributes which are also readily assessable, but not simply by inspection. The anxiety or hostility of those experimenters functioning well enough to be experimenters at all must be assessed more indirectly, sometimes by simply asking the experimenter various questions, more often by the use of standard psychological instruments.
Keywords: experimenter attributes, anxiety, need for approval, birth order, hostility, authoritarianism, intelligence, dominance
