2022, Research in Social and Administrative PharmacyCitation Excerpt :The effects of acquiescence generally appear to be small20,41; however, acquiescence-related bias may be more substantial in specific circumstances, such as when acquiescence is correlated with the variables of interest41 or when surveying populations with high rates of acquiescence. Within the U.S., acquiescence may be of particular concern for surveys with Latino populations, as several studies have observed higher rates of acquiescence among Latino respondents than among non-Latino whites.1,14,34,46,53 These findings are consistent with several country-level studies, which have shown higher use of acquiescence in Spanish-speaking Latin American countries than English-speaking countries, including the U.S.19,20,36 Since Latinos are expected to comprise 29% of the U.S. population by 2050,16 the potential for this systematic difference in how Latino and non-Latino white respondents respond raises concerns for data validity among both Latino-focused and national surveys.
