Error can creep into interview data due to which of the following factors?
- Failure to record answers accurately
- Influencing the response of the respondents
- Interviewees being intelligent
- The interviewer being able to explain the question well
- Failure to establish an appropriate interview environment
A1, 2 & 4 only
B1, 2 & 5 only ✓ Correct
C2, 3 & 4 only
D3, 4 & 5 only
Correct answer: (B) 1, 2 & 5 only — The answer is 1, 2 and 5.
Explanation
★The answer is 1, 2 and 5.
★Failure to record answers accurately distorts the data, which is item 1.
★Influencing the respondents' answers biases the data, which is item 2.
★Failure to set an appropriate interview environment also causes error, which is item 5.
★Interviewees being intelligent does not by itself cause error, so item 3 is excluded.
★The interviewer explaining questions well reduces error rather than causing it, so item 4 is excluded.
★So the answer is 1, 2 and 5.
