Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fieldworker and respondent errors can be intentional (e.g. deliberate falsification of data) or unintentional (e.g. accidental errors due to lack of training or attention). Conscious and unconscious errors, voluntary and involuntary errors, and purposeful and purposeless errors are not as relevant for categorizing errors in survey research. False positive and false negative errors are also not applicable as they are specific types of errors related to statistical analysis.
