Research Methods: Biases in Research - Confirmation Bias

<p>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!</p> <p>Best</p> <p>Eugene (Yevgen) </p>
