I thought so as well (that it's called reactivity) when I was
investigating this
possibility this when I was our IRB chair; but I failed to find anything. (I
wasn't the one worried about it--other members were FAR more concerned that we
might be instilling depression, etc. in research participants.)
I'd be interested in whatever anyone has on this--please post to list.
Thanks

Hi folks. I wonder if anyone is aware of any evidence indicating
that the act of taking a questionnaire or survey (e.g., the Beck
Depression Inventory) can lead the individual to experience the very
phenomena that the questionnaire is attempting to tap
Very, very quick answer: that's called _reactivity_. I think there's
a literature on it.
