This can lead to inaccurate data and conclusions. The other options provided as potential problems are not accurate: A) self-report measures can provide information on the intensity of an attitude through Likert scales or other tools; B) self-report measures can indicate the direction of an attitude through questions and response options; and D) it is possible to assess the validity of self-report measures through various means, such as correlation with other measures or predictive ability.
