Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A blind study would help mitigate observer bias by ensuring that the data collectors are unaware of the purpose of the study. This would reduce the likelihood of them subconsciously altering their observations to fit the expected results. Correlational studies would not address this issue, experimental studies may still have observer bias despite randomization and controls, and descriptive studies do not involve data collection from observers.
