Analyzing Media Through an Ethnic Studies Lens

Question 5 • CA-Ethnic Studies

How can you determine if there is bias in the data you are using for research?

Answer
A
by choosing data that is easiest to find and use in your research
B
by selecting data that has the most likes or shares on social media
C
by using data only from sources that agree with your initial hypothesis
D
by checking if the data comes from a variety of sources with different viewpoints

Explanation

To check for bias, consider whether the data represents a range of sources and viewpoints rather than only one perspective. Data from varied sources makes it easier to spot missing information or one-sided claims. Choosing data because it is convenient, popular on social media, or agrees with your hypothesis can reinforce bias instead.
