Cracking the Code of Extreme Response Styles

June 12, 2026 · 5 min read

Could the way people answer surveys be undermining important research? A recent study suggests that a common bias known as extreme response style (ERS) might do just that. ERS is when people tend to choose the most extreme options on a scale—think always selecting ‘strongly agree’ or ‘strongly disagree.’ This behavior can twist results in […]
