In this manner, the researcher is solving one problem common to that specific concern questionnaire. However, when practicing these techniques the researcher must try to avoid influencing the subjects’ response by refraining from any and all nonverbal expressions; for example they are to try to avoid raising an eyebrow or any other influential body gestures
