Research Methods: Biases in Research - Confirmation Bias
Monday Dec 20, 2021
Monday Dec 20, 2021
Today, we start talking about biases on the side of the researcher. The topic of our today's episode is the "confirmation bias". This bias appears if a researcher instead of trying to reject his or her hypothesis tries to support it. Apart from being a wrong scientific approach, a "belief" of a researcher may impact his or her formulation of questions or design of the experiment. For instance, the questions which could reject a hypothesis are forgotten/omitted. Listen more about the bias in the current episode!
