What are some common biases in surveys?

Common biases in surveys include selection bias, response bias, and confirmation bias. Would you like to know more about each?

Yes, please explain selection bias.

Selection bias occurs when the sample surveyed is not representative of the population. This can lead to skewed results.

How can we minimize response bias?

To minimize response bias, ensure anonymity, use neutral wording, and provide clear instructions to respondents.

Can you give an example of confirmation bias in surveys?

Sure! Confirmation bias in surveys happens when respondents only answer in ways that support their pre-existing beliefs.
