Answer 1

c) Respondents might not respond truthfully

Explanation:

A self-report measure is a type of survey, questionnaire or poll in which respondents read the question and select a response by themselves without interference from an interviewer or another person.

The main problem with this kind of measures is that there is a social desirability bias associated to them.

Social desirability bias refers to the tendency that participants have in which they often answer in a way to portray themselves in a good light, this means that they report what they think the researcher wants to hear and they make themselves appear better than what they actually are.
