An officer manager wants to survey employees about putting soft-drink machine in the lunchroom. Which survey question would be biased toward a yes response? Should the office put an expensive soft-drink machine in the lunchroom? Should the office put a soft-drink machine in the lunchroom? Should the office put a large soft-drink machine in the lunchroom? Should the office put a soft-drink machine in the lunchroom for fun?

@Directrix

Should the office put a soft-drink machine in the crowded lunchroom?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

??

Directrix (directrix):

I think this would cause people to want to avoid the loss of space in the lunchroom and push them to vote no. Should the office put a soft-drink machine in the crowded lunchroom?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

so then would it be B?

Directrix (directrix):

@ParadigM agrees with Should the office put a soft-drink machine in the crowded lunchroom? as do I. That is option C. Option B is about boosting morale and would create bias towards a yes vote.

Directrix (directrix):

You put the same answer.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

omg wait I got a typo again sorry

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

sorry is that I copied it from the question you gave me the link to and I thought it was the same

Directrix (directrix):

That one and yours are not the same; just similar.

Directrix (directrix):

New options. Hold on.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

alright :)

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

I think is B

Directrix (directrix):

I think this question would cause a "yes" bias. Should the office put a soft-drink machine in the lunchroom for fun?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

oh ok thank you

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

but why?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

can you explain it a bit pls

Directrix (directrix):

The option you chose is neutral with no bias? Should the office put a soft-drink machine in the lunchroom? In the option I chose, the bias is for a yes vote because of the word "fun." People vote for fun. My option: Should the office put a soft-drink machine in the lunchroom for fun?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

ohh ok thank you

Directrix (directrix):

Go with what you think It's your homework.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

alright :)
