Detailed explanation-1: -If participant bias occurs, it can harm the research outcome because the research may find that the independent variables (variable that we measure that does not change ) influenced the dependent variables (dependent on other factors and may be influenced by the independent variable).
Detailed explanation-2: -Participants’ bias happens when the participants involved in research respond in a manner that suggests they are trying to match up with the desired result of the researcher. This means that the respondent starts to exhibit unusual characters from what they would normally do or how they would normally react.
Detailed explanation-3: -Research bias results from any deviation from the truth, causing distorted results and wrong conclusions. Bias can occur at any phase of your research, including during data collection, data analysis, interpretation, or publication. Research bias can occur in both qualitative and quantitative research.
Detailed explanation-4: -How can biases affect how those results are applied? Bias can cause the results of a scientific study to be disproportionately weighted in favor of one result or group of subjects. This can cause misunderstandings of natural processes that may make conclusions drawn from the data unreliable.
