Correct
Mark 1.00 out of 1.00
Social researchers tend to focus on the
meaning of customs and ways of
behaviour. According to the sociologist,

when researchers misunderstand the
behaviour of ordinary people by
projecting their own interest in
understanding the world onto the people
they are studying (that is, believing that
their research subjects are also primarily
interested in meanings rather than
practical usefulness).
Guarding against the biases that may
result from assuming that everyone
thinks like oneself is called ...
a. reflexivity.
b. common sense.
c. positivism.
