This is most likely an example of ... a. self-interest bias c. leading question bias Popalatu b. social acceptability bias d. sampling bias
Self Interest Bias: To put into simple words it means to take the credit if good happens and blame or put it on others or on external factors if otherwise. In this one favors himself(herself).
Leading Question Bias: It is caused by the person who ask such a question such a way that the respondent answers in a specific manner hence the true answer could not be recorded.
Social Acceptability Bias: In this the respondent answers the question under the social pressure and hence it pollutes the data. It leads to skewness towards the good behavior.
Sampling Bias: This occurs when the surveyor chooses specifics instead of random. This type of bias leads to the over reporting of one set of population while under reporting of the other.
