Suggestive Questioning

Suggestive questioning occurs when the way a question is phrased influences or bias the respondent's answer, often guiding them toward a particular response. This can happen intentionally or unintentionally, leading to distorted or inaccurate information. It’s common in situations like interviews, surveys, or legal settings, where the wording subtly hints at a specific answer, potentially affecting the fairness or reliability of the results. To maintain objectivity, questions should be neutral, clear, and free from cues that could influence how someone responds.
