Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In survey method, participants are asked to self-report their attitudes, behaviors, experiences, or opinions. Since the responses are relying on the person's own interpretation and memory, the researcher cannot control if the participant is providing accurate information. Therefore, the potential for distortions in self-report, such as social desirability bias, response biases or memory errors, is more common in survey research than in other methods.
