Bias affects research because when you are getting information from a source which contains bias, it will not necessary be exactly right because it is influenced by that person's opinion. Therefore, when researching you should consider the author and their purpose in writing - for example, are they trying to convince to buy a computer because then the information they have given on computers could contain bias. Hope that helps!

∙ 9y agoBias is bad for research because the reason for doing research is to gather data to form an opinion or come to a data based conclusion. Having a strong bias while doing research can cause you to miss important pieces of data . Bias can even make you ignore pieces of data and patterns because it doesn't fit the patterns or outcome that you're already expecting before you started the research.

To be totally objective, which is the goal, people need to give up preconceived notions and beliefs to find truth, whatever and where ever it is.
