Dr. Elena conducted an experiment to investigate perceptions of leadership effectiveness in remote work environments. She recruited participants from a professional networking event and presented them with two different profiles describing a project manager.
In the first profile, participants rated how capable the manager was when overseeing a remote team (Condition A). In the second profile, the same participants rated how capable the manager was when overseeing a traditional office-based team (Condition B).
The participants provided a rating on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1 represented 'highly incapable' and 7 represented 'highly capable'.
Explain one weakness of Dr. Elena collecting quantitative data for her experiment.
