Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bias in a questionnaire item refers to a situation where the question or response options encourage the respondents to answer in a particular way. This can affect the reliability and validity of the data collected. It may not always be obvious to the participants or the researcher that bias is present. Negative wording is just one form of bias and it is not necessary for bias to occur. Developing rapport between the researcher and subject is not related to bias in questionnaire items.
