Do I look fat in this?



How do you answer a question you don’t feel comfortable with, or you just don’t know? Just don’t answer? This would be called __ Non- response Bias __

__ Non – Response Bias is when some one doesn’t answer a question on a survey. __

If this was Mr. Boulton in this dress, and he was asking you this question on a test, Even though he thinks he look fabulous, he wants to know your opinion. Well I don’t know about you, but that’s a little weird… So your reaction might be not answering it. You’re not lying, but you’re also not giving you’re answer.

So when, Mr. Boulton gets the tests back, and calculates his fabulous percentage, It would through the survey, so poor Mr. Boulton will never know if he looked fat in his dress.
