Suppose you are a research participant in a laboratory study that is examining fear and social support. The researcher shows you an extremely scary movie and then asks you whether you feel like talking to anyone (and if so, who) once the movie is over. Although you are in a laboratory setting the whole time, which does not resemble "real life" at all, you become engrossed in the procedures of the study and almost forget that you are in a study. Thus, in your experience, this study is:

A) low in experimental realism and low in mundane realism
B) low in experimental realism and high in mundane realism
C) high in experimental realism and low in mundane realism
D) high in experimental realism and high in mundane realism

Experimental Realism

The extent to which study participants get so caught up in the procedures that they forget they are in an experiment.

The degree to which an experiment or research setting resembles the real-world scenarios it aims to replicate or study.
