Cases are individuals with psoriasis and controls are individuals without psoriasis. Stress was measured in interviews by asking individuals about any adverse events experienced during childhood. During the interviews, the interviewer tended to ask more clarifying questions to individuals with psoriasis compared to individuals without psoriasis. What source of measurement error is described in the case above? Pick one (1) source (2 points) and clarify why you chose this source (max. 2 points).
