Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonresponse bias occurs when those who refuse to participate in a survey are different from those who actually participate, which can influence the survey results. Response bias refers to factors that influence the way respondents answer survey questions, such as social desirability bias or interviewer bias. Social desirability bias occurs when respondents give answers that they perceive as more socially acceptable, while interviewer bias occurs when the person conducting the survey inadvertently influences the respondent's answers. Facsimile bias is not a commonly used term in survey research.
