Complete Question:

You decide to conduct a survey on your campus. The survey asks, "How do you feel about killing animals for food?" You happen to be wearing a fur coat on the day that you administer the survey. What is the problem with this design?

A) Response bias—the respondents already have a general idea on your opinion based on the fur coat.

B) Undercoverage—the study should be based on all adults and not just students.

C) A poorly worded question—the survey should ask "Killing animals for food is acceptable, right?"

D) There are no problems with the study.

The problem with this design is "Response bias—the respondents already have a general idea on your opinion based on the fur coat."

They can be induced or caused by a whole range of other factors.

In This question, participants are already likely to know the opinion of the Researcher based on their dressing. This can be said to be an induced response.

the historians cited in the article all agree with one another about the cause of the civil war. despite coming from different backgrounds and cultures, the historians agree that slavery was the root cause of the civil war. the fact that all these historiansgenerally agree with one another makes their shared viewpoints more reliable and valid, especially because the historians have different backgrounds and all work for the well-respected institutions of howard university, clemson university, and the university of colorado.
