Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sample bias refers to a situation in which the sample used in a study is not representative of the population they are trying to generalize the results to. This can limit the external validity of the study, making it difficult to apply the findings to other people or situations. Experimenter bias, the placebo effect, and the lack of adequate controls can all impact the internal validity of a study, but they are not directly related to the ability to generalize its results.
