Question 2: Cheating Spouses

The Scarlett sample
Researchers in Colorado and Texas surveyed almost 5,000 women anonymously. They asked whether they had been unfaithful to their husbands.

* In one survey, 1 percent said they had been unfaithful to their husbands.

* In a second survey, 6 percent confessed to infidelity.

We have a large sample size. What might account for such a big difference in the results?

The survey with 1 percent of women admitting they have been unfaithful to their husbands was an oral asurvey, whereas the second survey was written.
