Leading questions suggest a particular answer, which can bias the responses. To avoid leading questions: - Use neutral language: Ensure the question does not imply a right or wrong answer. - Avoid assumptions: Do not assume the respondent has specific knowledge or experiences. - Provide balanced options: Ensure all response options are equally weighted.
Example of a leading question: "Don't you agree that smoking is harmful to health?" Improved version: "What are your thoughts on the health effects of smoking?"
