How sponsorship transparency mitigates negative effects of advertising recognition (2018, background): “Research participants who think that the experimenter is trying to manipulate or trick them are more likely to provide negative responses (e.g. Christensen 1977; Ortmann and Hertwig 2002).”
Interpersonal Power (2015, background): “Also, psychologists, particularly social psychologists, periodically use deception, which can prompt some problems in experiments and can have unintended effects on subjects’ behaviors in experiments both in the short and long term (Ortmann & Hertwig, 1997, 2002).”
On doing better science: From thrill of discovery to policy implications (2017, background): “…the best concordance between laboratory and field results comes from industrial-organizational psychology and not social psychology (Mitchell, 2012)—although the latter is known to use deception quite regularly (Ortmann & Hertwig, 2002), it is not clear what explains this difference in concordance.”
