Responses given because the respondents attempt to guess the purpose of the experiment and respond accordingly are called demand artifacts. Nonresponse bias refers to the bias that results when participants chosen for the sample do not respond. Environmental constraints refer to inherent limitations in conducting research, such as a lack of time or resources. Sample controls refer to efforts to ensure that the sample is representative of the population being studied. Guessing bias is not a commonly used term in the field of research.
