Measurement limitations refer to the constraints that affect the accuracy and reliability of data collected during experiments or observations. These limitations can arise from various factors, such as the tools used, the environment in which measurements are taken, and human error. For instance, a thermometer may have a specific range in which it operates accurately, leading to potential inaccuracies outside that range. Additionally, measurement limitations can stem from the inherent variability in the subjects being measured. For example, when measuring human responses in a psychological study, individual differences can introduce inconsistencies. Understanding these limitations is crucial for interpreting results and making informed decisions based on the data.
