The reliance on smartphones or tablets for QR codescanning and stable internet connections potentially introduced selection bias, possibly excludingstudents without access to compatible devices or reliable connectivity. This method, while efficientfor data collection, may have skewed the sample towards more technologically affluentparticipants.
