Bias01:22

Bias

7.2K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

367
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Longitudinal Research

13.0K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

17.0K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

15.2K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Ethics in Research01:56

Ethics in Research

25.3K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Research Ethics
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Investigative credibility in gambling research is influenced by funding sources.
  • Some researchers avoid industry funding due to perceived bias and undue influence.
  • Alternative funding sources, like government grants, are often preferred for perceived independence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the relationship between funding sources and the credibility of gambling research.
  • To explore the implications of researchers' a priori judgments regarding industry-funded research.
  • To propose solutions for fostering greater researcher participation and scientific advancement in gambling research.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and conceptual analysis of funding sources in gambling research.
  • Examination of empirical evidence on funding bias.
  • Case study analysis of the impact of refusing industry-funded projects.

Main Results:

  • A priori rejections of industry funding can negatively impact scientific progress.
  • Refusing all industry-sponsored research may lead to missed opportunities for knowledge advancement.
  • The perception of bias may not always be supported by empirical evidence.

Conclusions:

  • A balanced approach to funding, considering potential biases while encouraging participation, is crucial.
  • Encouraging collaboration across different funding models can enhance the quality and scope of gambling research.
  • Addressing researcher reluctance is key to advancing scientific knowledge for public benefit.
