2. Participants may not be accurate in their self reports

Explanation:

A clinical interview is an act of oral or written communication that is established between two or more people (the interviewer and the interviewee) in order to obtain information. However, it is very common to find people who lie, deform or exaggerate the answers and often there is a partial or total difference between what is said and done.
