Measurement error is the variation between the information the researcher intends to measure and the information actually obtained due to factors such as incorrect measurement tools, inadequate measurement techniques, or data entry errors. Variable error refers to fluctuations in data that occur due to differences among participants, while systematic error is a consistent deviation from the true score, and random error refers to fluctuations in data that occur due to chance or unexplained factors.
