definition: In some research, typically laboratory-based experimental research, the expectations of the researcher are transparent, the hypotheses under investigation are discernable, and the hoped-for response is obvious. Such research contexts are said to be characterized by high degrees of experimental demand characteristics. [Source: The SAGE Encyclopedia of Social Science Research Methods; Demand Characteristics]
