Academic research has disputed substantial linkages between response rate and non-response bias. A meta-analysis of 30 methodological studies on non-response bias by Robert M. Groves found that the coefficient of determination for variance in non-response bias by response rate was only 0.11, making it a weak predictor of non-response bias ...
Non-response Failure to obtain measurements from sampled units that were intended to be measured - Unit non-response (e.g., refusal, not-at-home) - Item non-response (e.g., sensitive questions) - Inability to respond (e.g., language barrier, illness) Leads to unequal selection probabilities, as non-response rates may vary across subgroups

A U.S. National Agricultural Statistics Service statistician explains response rate data at a 2017 briefing to clarify the context of crop production data. In survey research, response rate, also known as completion rate or return rate, is the number of people who answered the survey divided by the number of people in the sample.
Response bias is a general term for a wide range of tendencies for participants to respond inaccurately or falsely to questions. These biases are prevalent in research involving participant self-report, such as structured interviews or surveys. [1] Response biases can have a large impact on the validity of questionnaires or surveys. [1] [2]
Missingness occurs when participants drop out before the test ends and one or more measurements are missing. Data often are missing in research in economics , sociology , and political science because governments or private entities choose not to, or fail to, report critical statistics, [ 1 ] or because the information is not available.
In social science research social-desirability bias is a type of response bias that is the tendency of survey respondents to answer questions in a manner that will be viewed favorably by others. [1] It can take the form of over-reporting "good behavior" or under-reporting "bad" or undesirable behavior.
In statistics, self-selection bias arises in any situation in which individuals select themselves into a group, causing a biased sample with nonprobability sampling.It is commonly used to describe situations where the characteristics of the people which cause them to select themselves in the group create abnormal or undesirable conditions in the group.
