Explanation

Question 42 of 47

1

Does this construction distract from the researcher's own personal interests?

Select one of the following:

  • Yes, because they don't believe them to be necessary

  • No, because they are being objective

  • By using qualitative methods with holistic understandings of meaning that the events hold in a number of contexts (eg, where the research started)

Explanation

1

Burr (2006) suggested two ways that psychologists can use to avoid subtly reinforcing oppressive attitudes. Another way is to:
