measurement bias

Decision making
A systematic measurement error that skews all data; for example, an improperly calibrated sphygmomanometer produces biased blood pressure readings.
 
EBM
A systematic error that occurs when, because of the lack of blinding or related reasons such as diagnostic suspicion, the measurement methods (instrument, or observer of instrument) are consistently different between the groups in a study.

Paul Liegey compared traditional CPI methods for two apparel categories (women's coats and jackets and women's suits) to hedonic-quality indexes and found no single direction of difference between the two.(34) While Robert Gordon(35) finds evidence of a systematic effect arising from quality adjustment procedures, in some durable goods, Jack Tripleu notes a nonsystematic effect of quality adjustment procedures for items such as new and used automobiles, airlines, and services(36) Thus, evidence does not exist that the quality adjustment procedures lead to systematic measurement error.

Method effects associated with item wording have been explored in a variety of instruments and found that the practice of using positively- and negatively- worded items may introduce systematic measurement errors that disrupt analyses and interpretations of the results.
