Acquiescence response set bias is a tendency to agree with statements regardless of their content; such responders are known as "yea-sayers." People who have the opposite tendency—to disagree with statements independently of the question content—are known as nay-sayers and are much less common. Social desirability response set bias is a tendency to misrepresent attitudes or traits by giving answers that are consistent with prevailing social views. A yea-sayer is a type of biased participant.
