Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In focus groups, the discussion is led by a facilitator and the group members are encouraged to share their views, opinions, and experiences with each other. However, when a few members dominate the discussion, the opinions and experiences of other participants may not be heard, leading to biased results. Therefore, this is a critical disadvantage of the focus group data gathering method.
