Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recent events can influence people's opinions and attitudes, which may affect their responses to survey questions. This is known as the "current events" effect, where people's responses are influenced by recent news, politics, or cultural events. For example, if a major news event occurs just before a survey is conducted, it may lead to people responding differently than they would have if the same survey had been conducted a month earlier or later.
