People's responses on a scale can be influenced by systematic biases that are completely irrelevant to the construct that the scale was intended to measure. Specifically, imaging a researcher is asking for help in developing a scale assessing people's enjoyment of noxious or foul odors. Describe two threats to measurement validity that might influence responses to this scale that have nothing to do with people's penchant for stinky smells. In your response, be sure to (a) provide an example item for the scale that you will use as a reference, (b) identify and describe each validity threat, and (c) discuss how each validity threat would manifest in relation to your example item (i.e., explain how each threat would specifically bias responses, and in what direction).
