You can show people pictures of faces and ask them to make judgments about the creepiness of the person.

You can ask them to imagine situations and have them rate how they feel

But to actually create a real-life situation where the person is getting creeped out is something, first of all, it's practically hard to do.

But even if you could do it ethically, you probably shouldn't.

And so not being able to make the research as realistic as you would like is probably the big difficulty.

A lot of the stories that I've gotten to tell, like about the clowns and the experiences I've been able to have because I've done creepiness research has been kind of rewarding.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.
