Response bias

Response bias is a type of bias that happens in surveys and experiments and can affect the results. Response bias happens when people answer questions a certain way because they want to give the answer they think is expected. For example, if someone was asked a question like "Do you agree that the government should do more to protect the environment?" they might give a fake answer that is different from what they really think, because they think that by giving that answer, they will look better to the person asking the question. People can also do this because they might be trying to be funny or just be careless. Response bias can make it hard for researchers to get accurate results from their surveys and experiments.
