Study bias refers to the systematic error or distortion in research findings that can occur due to flaws in the design, conduct, or analysis of a study. It can arise from various factors such as the selection of participants, measurement methods, or researcher’s own beliefs and preferences. This bias can lead to inaccurate or misleading results, affecting the validity and reliability of the study. It is important for researchers to be aware of and address potential biases in their studies to ensure the credibility and objectivity of their findings.
