  • Methods are needed to minimise measurement error which may be introduced by participation bias, recall and comprehension problems, and respondents' willingness to report sensitive and sometimes socially censured attitudes or behaviours. (bmj.com)
  • Prior pain status was over-recalled by 37% of those with upper-extremity pain at the time of recall, but only by 3% of those without symptoms. (cdc.gov)
  • Over-recalling was related to age, having current symptoms, or being a clinical case. (cdc.gov)
  • CONCLUSIONS: Prior musculoskeletal symptoms are poorly remembered after some years, and the recall is strongly influenced by current symptoms. (cdc.gov)
  • METHODS: In this prospective study (1992-1998), among a cohort of automobile manufacturing workers (N=464), musculoskeletal pain reported at baseline was compared with recalled pain at follow-up. (cdc.gov)
  • The internal validity, i.e. the characteristic of a clinical study to produce valid results, can be affected by random and systematic (bias) errors. (karger.com)
  • Such recall bias can affect the results of a study like this. (harvard.edu)
  • The authors investigated how well people in a workplace recalled their prior musculoskeletal pain and which factors influenced recall accuracy. (cdc.gov)
  • The Interphone authors once again cite bias as preventing any firm conclusions about the effects of long-term use: "The possible effects of long-term heavy use of mobile phones on risk of brain tumors require further investigation," the paper states, "given increasing mobile phone use, its extension to children and its penetration world-wide. (popsci.com)
  • This result is in line with the majority of other published studies, which also observed no increased risk of brain tumors in association with cell phone radiation and cite biases and errors in those studies that do show a correlation. (popsci.com)
  • These errors include courtesy bias. (futurelearn.com)
  • Erratum: How well do people recall risk factor test results? (nau.edu)
  • Relevant epidemiologic studies, however, have provided conflicting results, and many are flawed by recall bias. (nih.gov)
  • For countries with survey data, since infant mortality rates from birth histories of surveys are exposed to recall biases, infant mortality is derived from the projection of under-five mortality rates converted into infant mortality rates using the Bayesian B-splines bias-adjusted model. (who.int)
  • Those in the case group (those with breast cancer) may be able to recall a greater number of potential risk factors they had been exposed to than those in the control group (women unaffected by breast cancer). (wikipedia.org)
  • Self-positivity bias refers to the tendency of people to consider themselves as more fortunate than others. (acrwebsite.org)
  • In the present research, we (a) present a first empirical test of biased retrieval of risk information, and (b) argue that self-positivity begins with biased encoding and biased processing of information. (acrwebsite.org)

  • In contrast, OEVs and objective data tend to differ in levels - potentially due to psychological bias. (repec.org)
  • Use of hospital records rather than patient experience can also help to avoid recall bias. (wikipedia.org)
  • For example, a person with acne who strongly believes that diet affects their skin health may be more likely than others to recall and report certain elements of their diet (such as fatty or sugary foods) than those who are more skeptical about a connection. (harvard.edu)
  • It also investigated this level of agreement after adjusting patient perceived change for recall bias that patients may have experienced. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Three methods of change score calculation were used (conventional change, patient perceived change and patient perceived change adjusted for recall bias). (biomedcentral.com)
  • For agreement between conventional longitudinal change and patient perceived change adjusted for recall bias: ICCs were 0.98 and 0.90 respectively. (biomedcentral.com)
  • To overcome the invalidating effect of response shift (on conventional change) and recall bias (on patient perceived change) a method of adjusting patient perceived change for recall bias has been described. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Defining intelligence is also a complicated task, and it involves memory recall, rational thinking, and decision-making. (medicalnewstoday.com)
  • It is sometimes also referred to as response bias, responder bias or reporting bias. (wikipedia.org)
  • To correct non-representative biases characterising the online data, by using census data and the representative samples we develop a reconstruction method to provide a scalable, cheap, and flexible way to dynamically obtain closer-to-representative contact matrices. (nature.com)

  • A large proportion of this disagreement could be attributed to recall bias. (biomedcentral.com)
  • To minimize recall bias, some clinical trials have adopted a "wash out period", i.e., a substantial time period that must elapse between the subject's first observation and their subsequent observation of the same event. (wikipedia.org)
