Question

please identify three things that could create bias in a research project. Please be explicit in your response

Answer 1

When a respondent provide every answer with a perception that the researcher is an expert and is moderator, he will give positive answer to every question. This creates friendliness bias, which doesn't provide accurate results.

Another thing could be the respondent answering in a way which he find could be acceptable and liked by whoever reads it, he doesn't think about the type of research and information needed to to get relevant results, he just tend to answer in a way which he thinks might be liked by the society.

And another thing could be researcher's confirmation of an hypothesis. He may add or reject a response and information according to the hypothesis framed which may not be appropriate and correct. This leads to inaccurate results.
