Despite recognition of the harmful effects of common method bias (CMB), its causes, consequences, and remedies are still not well understood. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to review our current knowledge of CMB and provide recommendations on how to control it. We organize our review into five main sections. First, we explain the harmful effects of CMB (why it is bad). Second, we discuss the complexity caused by the fact that there are multiple sources of CMB, several of which are likely to be present in any study. Third, we present evidence that the conditions under which CMB is likely to occur are relatively widespread, and fourth, we explain why CMB is not easy to fix. Finally, we identify several avenues for future research.

常见方法偏差：它很糟糕、很复杂、很普遍、而且不容易修复

尽管人们认识到共同方法偏差 (CMB) 的有害影响，但其原因、后果和补救措施仍不清楚。因此，本文的目的是回顾我们目前对 CMB 的了解，并就如何控制它提供建议。我们将评论分为五个主要部分。首先，我们解释一下 CMB 的有害影响（为什么它不好）。其次，我们讨论了 CMB 的多种来源这一事实所造成的复杂性，其中一些来源可能出现在任何研究中。第三，我们提供的证据表明，CMB 可能发生的条件相对普遍，第四，我们解释了为什么 CMB 不容易修复。最后，我们确定了未来研究的几种途径。
