    Survey methodology studies how to sample populations and collect survey data through techniques like questionnaire design and measuring response accuracy. Interviewer effects have been shown, where participants may attempt to project a positive self-image when answering an interviewer, leading to potential bias. Survey length can impact response rates, with longer surveys associated with lower response. Additionally, attributes of the interviewer like gender, race, and physical appearance can influence how participants respond.
