Bias01:22

Bias

3.7K
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...

Ethics in Research

22.9K
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.

Relationship Formation

39.8K
What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

49.7K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture01:27

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

30
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies02:09

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

37.5K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Area of Science:

  • Conservation Science
  • Social Sciences
  • Indigenous Research

Background:

  • Social and economic factors influence researchers' perspectives and practices in conservation science.
  • Positionality, encompassing upbringing and experiences, shapes researchers' roles and power within scientific endeavors.
  • Equity, diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility are vital for successful research partnerships.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore researcher positionality and its impact on power dynamics in conservation science.
  • To investigate how reflexive practice can foster equitable and effective research collaborations.
  • To examine the role of positionality in transdisciplinary and cross-cultural research teams.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of researcher positionality through personal experiences of early, mid-career, and Indigenous researchers.
  • Application of reflexive practice to recognize diverse roles and strengthen project governance.
  • Case studies of two large research partnerships: Apoqnmatulti'k and SakKijânginnaniattut Nunatsiavut Sivunitsangit.

Main Results:

  • Interrogation of power dynamics within research partnerships led to improved relationships and research quality.
  • Reflexive practice facilitated recognition of diverse roles and responsibilities.
  • Understanding positionality is key to navigating power dynamics in collaborative conservation science.

Conclusions:

  • Large transdisciplinary and cross-cultural research teams should explicitly address power dynamics using positionality and reflexivity.
  • Conscious choices about power in project administration, research questions, and relationships are essential for partnership-driven work.
  • Embracing positionality and reflexivity strengthens conservation science research and fosters equitable collaborations.
