Using a bogus pipeline can increase the validity of the responses by reducing the effects of social desirability bias. This is because with a bogus pipeline, participants believe that their responses can be detected even if they do not reveal their true views. Therefore, they may be more likely to provide their genuine opinions rather than responding in a socially desirable manner.
