An Insight on the general kind of bias in survey questions

1
These are just some of the simple ways you can
design and develop great, unbiased questions
which can help derive better survey answer.

• Biased question - How is Mr._ when it comes to
  continuing the heritage of a political family?
• Edited unbiased question - Please tell your
  views about Mr.'s achievements in continuing the
  legacy of a political family.
• Biased question - Do you think pet owners
  should vaccinate their dogs?

• Edited unbiased question - Do you think dogs
  should be vaccinated?

In the above examples, dumb and concerned are the
two words that negatively impact the entire tone
and meaning of the question. Just by removing
them, we could make the sentence not just easy
and simple but also free of any sort of
biasedness

So, What Is A Biased Survey?

• A biased survey is the one which loses its
  core objective and aim because of the Format And
  Question Of The Survey.

•   A biased survey is populated with all the
  wrong questions manipulated findings and is
  complete with errors.

• A biased survey results in the wrong
  findings, higher than average drop outs.

How To Remove The Possibility Of Creating Biased
Survey?
5
Avoid Leading Questions

• Since they negate survey results. The two
  examples discussed at the onset of the article
  are leading questions which leads a respondents
  to answer and thereby develops a bad impression

• So, you could simply wait to get their answer
  without having to create any sense of urgency.

Avoid Loaded Questions To Get Accurate Answer

• Where do you like to party on the weekends?
  is a loaded question because what if respondents
  do not like party. 

• Instead, you could ask What do you like to
  do on the weekends?

6
Avoid Double-Barreled Questions

• Avoid double-barreled questions. Asking
  respondents two questions at the same time
  confuses them, and perhaps most of them would
  only focus on one which means the most to them.

• How happy and unhappy are you with the
  present government?

• Asking this is putting a lot of burden and
  influencing the answer to some extent because the
  respondents would spend more time focusing on one
  attribute that most appeal to them rather than
  holistically distributing the answer into two
  portions

• Rather, ask - What do you think about the
  achievements of the present government?

7
Avoid The Absolute Question

• Asking Do you always shower before bed makes
  your attendants cornered since most would reply
  NO. So, Finding a Consumer Trend might not be
  achievable

• Rather, if you ask more logical question such
  as - How many nights a month do you shower before
  sleeping perhaps bring in more qualified and
  accurate answers.

Other Things To Remember

• Avoid unclear, confusing questions
• Use multiple choice answers
• Add prefer not to answer option for more
  freedom in answering the questions
• Develop a smart, useful and simple structure
• Put special emphasis on survey question
  balance and survey structure balance
