| Name the bias. People being studied have to actively choose to participate. Members who are more enthusiastic will be a majority of the sample. | self-selection bias |
| Name the bias. How volunteers or screened or where advertising is placed skews the sample so that a majority of a sample is made up of people who align themselves with the advertisement. | pre-screening bias or advertising bias |
| Name the bias. The first 100 students to walk through the quad are surveyed on their views of the football team. | specific real area bias |

| Name the validity. Sample has internal validity that can be applied to multiple situations | external validity. |
| Name the validity. A tool is measuring what it is intended to measure. | construct validity |
| Name the validity. A survey is clear and gives non-leading questions. | construct validity. |
