  • observational or meassurement error
  • in statistics its not a mistake, rather something we should count

two types of errors

  • random - may vary from observation to another; caused by unintended mistakes by respondents, interviewers
  • systematic (=statistical bias) - occurs when we use intruments the same way with the same place; caused by the bad set of questionaiire
    • Multitrait-multimethod matrix helps on decission, weather the questionaire is set right
