Can studies be biased?
Yes, studies can be biased. This means the way a study is designed, conducted, or interpreted might lean towards a particular outcome, even unintentionally. For example, if the remote work study only surveyed people who chose remote work, it might miss the views of those who struggled with it, potentially skewing the results.
