What is Acquiescence Bias? As answered by DJS Research Ltd

Acquiescence bias can also be known as “yea saying” and is essentially a bias created whereby respondents tend to agree with whatever the interviewer presents to them. This can be created by the interviewer or the respondent being friendly during the interview, or the respondent feeling that they have to give the "right" answer, i.e. not wishing to offend the interviewer. This systemic bias can also be known as the "friendliness effect".
