Answer: False

Explanation:Counterbiasing is a technique which is adopted in a bid to get respondents or survey participants to respond or answer survey questions more honestly.

It has been observed that respondents are usually more inclined to follow the majority of a particular social group rather than responding from personal view or perception.

Counterbiasing technique shapes or structures survey questions in a manner which tend to negate the actions or behavior of a social group. Such statements attempts to evoke honesty such as 'Most women have found it increasingly difficult to contribute to child-upbringing.'
