The error in research may not only be caused by errors\/mistakes while administration of the surveys but also because of <strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/s\/samplingerror.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">sampling error<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, data processing mistakes and analysis level mistakes. All these errors\/mistakes are common to both methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So the degree of errors in the two methods can vary only in the errors\/mistakes made while administration of the questionnaires. Since the two methods vary very distinctly in their administration, where one is more human dependent and involves face to face interactions between humans, the other is more automated method does not involve any human interaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Accordingly the nature of errors\/mistakes in the two methods are very different and not directly comparable to each other.
