Biasness in a Survey Question

The text refers to many issues that we must be concerned about when conducting a survey. One of the main problems is response bias which is anything in a survey that might influence the responses. For example, surveys conducted by special interest groups may ask questions which are slanted toward their particular interests. These types of questions will cause survey results to be invalid. Therefore, it is important to write survey questions that are as clear and unbiased as possible. Although survey questions should always be written as unbiased as possible, this discussion activity provides you with the opportunity to write both unbiased and biased questions to demonstrate the difference. -Choose a topic that interests you and write a survey question. Try to write it very objectively without bias. -Rewrite the first question to encourage results in one direction. -Rewrite it again to encourage results in the opposite direction.
