A counterbiasing technique is used with the expectation that two alternative phrasings of the same question will yield a more accurate total response than will a single phrasing. True or False?

True.
- A counterbiasing technique is indeed used in survey methodology with the assumption that by presenting the same question phrased in two different ways, the potential bias introduced by the phrasing of the question can be reduced.
- This approach aims to neutralize the effects of the wording on a respondent's answer, thereby producing a more accurate representation of the respondent's true opinion or behavior. By analyzing the responses from both phrasings, researchers hope to arrive at a more accurate total response than they would obtain from using just a single version of the question.
