Bias refers to that quality of a measurement device that tends to result in a misrepresentation, in a particular direction, of what is being measured. Can you think of a biased question in a survey research? Please state a real (with reference) or imaginary biased question on a survey research that misrepresented the results of the research.
Surveys are a powerful tool that many researchers use to gather information, analyze, and formulate strategies. Conducting a survey is beneficial in many ways; it is cost efficient, extensive, flexible and dependable. Moreover, there are many methods of study research (online surveys, paper surveys, and phone surveys). Although it has many benefits and sounds like a great way of researching, it does leave room for people to misinterpret the question that is being asked or encourages volunteers to answer in a certain way. A researcher should be cautious to not use biased items and terms. In order to prevent biased questions a researcher should remove unnecessary information, balance the question (if two things are being compared), and balance the survey, keep opinions and biases to themselves. Ultimately drawing a conclusion from a biased survey is a misuse of extrapolation and defeats the purpose of conducing a factual, clear research.
This is my example of a fabricated biased question on a survey research regarding abortion:
1. Do you agree or disagree with this statement: " Women worldwide have the right to decide to abort or not"
2. Many people say that abortion lads to long-term emotional and physical health issues. Do you agree?
3. An abortion is fine as long as you got raped, right?
