This week, you learned about different sources of error/bias, including threats to internal validity, limitations in interpreting correlations, errors that affect the accuracy of participant self-report, and observer bias. Use social desirability bias and come up with a scenario that depicts this source of bias in action. Consider responding to posts from peers who chose a different source of error/bias than you did.

Please respond to the following:

• What source of error/bias did you choose?
• How does this type of error/bias affect study results?
• Describe a research study in which this source of error/bias is present. What type of research methodology is being used?
• What is one way that a researcher could try to reduce, or work around, this type of error/bias?
