The important flaw of LaPiere's study was that it was not clear whether the people who answered his questions were the same people who served the Chinese couple. This raises questions about whether attitudes actually do predict behavior, or if there were other factors at play, such as social pressure or situational context. The other options listed are not accurate as LaPiere's sample size was actually quite large for its time, and the self-report questionnaire was not the main focus of criticism in the study.
