Screenshot from Wikipedia's disambiguation page for the term "bias". The relevant section reads: Reactivity, may result in a bias when participants behave differently when they know they are being observed. In survey research this is sometimes called response bias. - Hawthorne effect, often relates to improving performance in response to an intervention - John Henry effect, sometimes relates to a behavioural change due to rivalry between groups, which may have negative outcomes - Observer-expectancy effect, is when researcher expectations influence participant behaviour (see also Pygmalion effect) - Social-desirability bias, is when participants adapt their behaviour to what they perceive to be social norms and expectations

I noticed that #Wikipedia's disambiguation page for #bias had a section for "Scientific method and statistics" that didn't mention #reactivity or #ResponseBias. I added some on this, but please continue the contribution.

3/ Personal biases could also influence responses, leading to conformity or avoidance of appearing uninformed. #ResponseBias #SocialDesirability

3/ Response Bias: Given the sensitive nature of the Holocaust, respondents might provide socially desirable answers, especially in countries where there's moral pressure to express historical awareness. #ResponseBias #SocialDesirability

Deep bows and big thank you to my collaborators Anna Brown & Eunike Wetzel (both not on T) on that chapter! 🙇🙇🙇

So glad to see that it is useful for people!

Probably time to write an update... 😉
