متن کاملSemantic primes theory may be helpful in designing questionnaires such as to prevent response shift.

Response shift (RS) theory considers that a change in HRQL scores observed over time cannot be explained solely by a direct effect of a medical condition, it may also result from a change in the way people appraise their HRQL. The RS effect...
