In a famous case, two couples from Bakersfield, California, were convicted of molesting dozens of preschool-age children at their daycare center. The evidence for the abuse came primarily from interviews with the children. However, the conviction was overturned—after one man had served 14 years in prison—when a judge re-examined the interviews and concluded that the children had given answers that they thought the interviewers wanted to hear. If we think of the interviewers as experimenters, this is an example of an experimenter effect because the interviewers influenced the children’s answers through the tone and style of their questioning.
