The correct answer is positive regard
Positive Regard is having an experience of unconditional positive consideration towards another person means warmly accepting every aspect of that person's experience. It means not placing conditions for the acceptance or appreciation of this person. Unconditional positive consideration implies non-possessive care, a way of appreciating the other as an individualized person who is allowed to have his own feelings, his own experiences.
The research error described above is an example of selection bias.
Selection bias takes place when, from a population of interest, a group of individuals is selected in order to construct a sample but without a proper randomization. The result is a sample which is not representative of the underlying population.
According to the example, the target population of the research comprises all students but the sample only includes boys. Hence, selection has not been random because it followed a gender criteria, and the results obtained using it cannot be applicable to the whole population because they are affected by a selection bias.
