The prompts

Prompt 1
Analyze the following market research survey questions for potential biases, including leading questions, framing effects, social desirability bias, and acquiescence bias. For each question, identify the type of bias present (if any) and suggest revised wording to minimize bias and ensure neutrality. Provide a detailed explanation for each identified bias and your proposed solution. The survey aims to understand consumer preferences for sustainable packaging.

Questions:
1. 'Wouldn't you agree that sustainable packaging is essential for the environment?'
2. 'How much more would you be willing to pay for eco-friendly packaging that is proven to reduce carbon emissions?'
3. 'Do you prefer our durable and attractive packaging or the flimsy, easily-damaged alternative?'
4. 'On a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being 'Not at all important' and 5 being 'Extremely Important', how important is sustainability to you?'
Prompt 2
You are a market research expert. Review the following survey questions and provide actionable feedback on how to reduce bias and improve clarity. Your response should detail the type of bias present, a justification for your assessment, and a rewritten question free of bias.
