If you were developing a survey, what concerns would you have about it?
What will be an ideal response?
Surveys can be biased because people may not answer questions truthfully or may feel pressured to answer in certain ways. Also, surveys can be biased by how questions are worded and by interviewing a group of people who do not represent the general population.
Surveys can be a useful research tool to efficiently collect information on behaviors, beliefs, experiences, and attitudes from a large sample of people and can compare answers from various ethnic, age, socioeconomic, and cultural groups.
