Something that distorts a process. This process could be a meeting where a person’s views may be ‘biased’ favouring only one way of looking at things, or the process of some research itself where results are distorted, for example by only including patients who can attend hospital, some studies are biased and the results cannot be generalised to patients who are less mobile and cannot therefore attend hospital as outpatients.
