A user station for a serial bus system, including a communication control device for controlling a communication of the user station with at least one other user station of the bus system, and a transceiver device for transmitting a transmission signal, generated by the communication control device, onto a bus of the bus system. The communication control device is designed to generate the transmission signal according to a frame, and to insert into the frame at least one field that is designed for checking whether the bit stream of the frame in a user station of the bus system that receives the frame is shifted by at least one bit compared to the expected frame.
