Bias in science is dangerous because it produces influenced objectives and outcomes from research and experimentation. Bias guides data towards an expectation and not an objective conclusion.]]> 2020-01-23 21:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jakeccurtis/poxp7talj8f0/wish/435392637 Bias jtlund123 https://padlet.com/jakeccurtis/poxp7talj8f0/wish/435392679 Is a point of view that you have. ]]> 2020-01-23 21:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jakeccurtis/poxp7talj8f0/wish/435392679 Publication Bias chasemurdock35 https://padlet.com/jakeccurtis/poxp7talj8f0/wish/435393003 Scientific journals are much morel likely to post positive findings rather than negative findings. This leads to misleading information because the journals are only posting the information they want to post.

There are some scientific journals coming out recently that only post negative findings to try and mitigate this bias.]]> 2020-01-23 21:13:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jakeccurtis/poxp7talj8f0/wish/435393003 Bias in Data Interpretation pjensen154 https://padlet.com/jakeccurtis/poxp7talj8f0/wish/435393348 Even in the scientific community, researchers are biased about what results they want to come to. When publishing or reading a study, it is important to take note of whether or not the data is being unfairly interpreted. These bad interpretations can look like drawing false causalities, overgeneralization, or focusing on statistically large statistics but ones that are clinically or practically irrelevant.]]> 2020-01-23 21:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jakeccurtis/poxp7talj8f0/wish/435393348 Implicit Bias: Less Harmful than Explicit Bias jakeccurtis https://padlet.com/jakeccurtis/poxp7talj8f0/wish/435394006
Regardless of the magnitude of one's biases, the goal ought to be mitigating all bias. The elimination of biases that influence actions and decisions is essential for scientific research and experimentation.

The Abstract says that both intentional and unintentional bias is dangerous. It's important to be aware in order to avoid both.
