The type of bias in this survey is question-wording bias because the question is influencing the response (option D).
Question-wording bias occurs when the words selected in the question influence a specific response. Here is one example:
- Do you believe a cruel practice such as bullfighting should be forbidden?
In this question, the use of the word cruel qualifies bullfighting as negative, and therefore in most cases, people will answer that bullfighting should be forbidden.
This effect occurs in the question for this survey because the section given that an increase in drilling could result in increased tax revenue and additional jobs to the region indirectly states drilling is positive and therefore influences the response of those surveyed.
Note: This question is incomplete because some of the options are missing; here are the complete options:
What type of bias could be most likely affecting the survey results?
A. This is undercoverage bias because some segments of the population will be excluded from the sample.
B. This is response bias because those selected for the survey may not provide truthful opinions about oil drilling.
C. This is voluntary response bias because those most passionate about drilling will be more likely to register an opinion.
D. This is question-wording bias because the information given at the start of the question may lead those surveyed towards a desired response.
