Response bias refers to the tendency of individuals to provide answers that they believe are socially acceptable or expected, rather than providing their true opinions or experiences. Self-report is a method of collecting data through individuals' self-reporting of their experiences, attitudes, behaviors, or opinions. Validity refers to the accuracy and authenticity of the data or measures, including whether they measure what they claim to measure. Sampling behavior refers to how a sample of individuals is selected or recruited, and is not directly related to the tendency to select socially acceptable answers.
