“…Subjects were told nothing that, in fact, was not true. Also, the procedure is less likely to produce experimenter expectancy effects in that, unlike the Staats procedure, the paired-associate materials were automatically and mechanically presented (see 7, 8,12).…”

When an experimenter uses the experimental method to investigate the effects of the experimenter's expectancy it may be that this research, too, is affected by his expectancy and thus there is an expectancy paradox. To the extent that the experimenter expectancy effect accounts for the variation in the dependent variable and is general, that is to say, universal in psychological research, the expectancy paradox is ineluctable. However, an analysis of the research reviews extant in this area yields the conclusion that expectancy effects are neither inexorable nor highly general in psychological research and this provides the basis for its extrication from the expectancy paradox.

Failure to Find Experimenter-Expectancy Effects in IQ Estimations

Abstract: 128 Ss were given the task of estimating the IQs of 10 women whose photographs they viewed. 4 Es were assigned to each of 4 conditions, 3 of which were of expectancy inducement and one of which was of no-expectancy inducement. No expectancy effects were observed.
