delivered in such The probability of participant error is low in this case because the
questionnaires were designed and delivered in such how to provide objective results.

participants may answer the questions as anticipated. All of them were required to end the
CBT by the top management. Therefore, they may feel as if obliged to pretend to do it
successfully.
However, the researcher found the only possible answer made these questionnaire results
confidential. Moreover, the director may have announced that the target data is important to
the company which there would be no retribution for the “wrong” answers. The probability

Q 5)
a. What threats to validity are inherent in the research design?

that their achievements in completing CBT will going to be measured at the end of the

participants will need to answer questionnaires and go through interviews. Instrumentation is
another threat inherent in research design because it is not quite clear how the results
obtained on the idea of those employee groups’ also be useful for overcoming this threat. The
ambiguity about causal direction is present within the research design in small amount as
well.
