Question: 1 / 400

What are double negative questions designed to do?

Provide unclear options for responses

Suggest an answer opposite to the correct one

Double negative questions are structured in a way that makes it challenging for respondents to comprehend what is being asked. They often imply the opposite of the intended meaning, therefore leading to confusion. When a double negative is used, such as "Do you not disagree with this statement?" it can mislead the respondent into thinking that a negative answer may indicate agreement, which detracts from clear communication.

By suggesting an answer that is opposite to the correct one, these questions can distort the true sentiment of respondents and result in responses that do not accurately reflect their opinions or ideas. This intentional complexity can manipulate how the question is understood, thereby influencing the responses in a way that benefits an agenda contrary to the respondent's genuine perspective.
