You have to prevent yourself from self-selection during a study. True or False?
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

To prevent self-selection during a study means to avoid bias by allowing participants to choose their own groups or conditions. This can lead to skewed results as individuals may have personal preferences or characteristics that influence their choice. By preventing self-selection, researchers can ensure a more representative and unbiased sample, increasing the validity and reliability of their findings. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct as it accurately states that one should prevent themselves from self-selection during a study.
