Topic 9.5
How could social identity theory perpetuate bias and discrimination within psychological research?
Researchers are likely to equally value both their in-group and out-groups during data interpretation.
Social identity theory encourages researchers to exhibit impartiality by focusing on individual characteristics rather than group affiliations.
Researchers might unconsciously favor their in-group, potentially resulting in biased findings.
Researchers will inherently avoid bias towards any social group in order to maintain professional ethics.
