Floor Effect

The floor effect has been observed in many studies as a result of the way that some survey questions are framed. When a question is asked about a population that is too small to be meaningful, it is more likely that respondents will report their own behavior as representative of the population as a whole.

This can lead to an underestimate of the true percentage of respondents who behave in a certain way, or to an overestimate of that percentage.
