Their review concludes that political bias manifests as theories the field has advanced that flatter liberals and disparage conservatives, as ideologically motivated skepticism against theories and data that challenge liberal positions, and as overrepresentation of liberals in social psychology. Political bias has also emerged in the review of ideologically charged scientific articles, in exaggerating the impact of effects favorable to liberal positions, in ignoring plausible alternative hypotheses, in how some findings are framed and described, and in how findings are discussed. They argue that these problems are particularly acute when scientific findings (and sometimes, even questions) threaten researchers’ sacred values. They further argue that the most sacred value for many social scientists is equalitarianism, by which they refer to a complex of interrelated ideas: 1. There are no biological differences between groups on socially valued traits (and, especially, no genetic differences); 2. Prejudice and discrimination are the only sources of group differences (and anyone who says otherwise is a bigot); and 3. Society has a moral obligation to arrange itself so that all groups are equal on socially valued outcomes.Although their analysis has merit, we also think it does not go far enough, especially with respect to points one and three.?Equalitarianism can, in our view, trigger scientific biases even when claims do not involve biology.?For example, arguing that cultural or religious differences between groups produces unequal outcomes can also trigger equalitarian defensiveness, accusations of bigotry, and biased science.?When Amy Wax argued that differences in the adoption of “bourgeois values” explains many of the outcome differences between blacks and whites in the U.S. ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"enenGi1X","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Wax & Alexander, 2017)","plainCitation":"(Wax & Alexander, 2017)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2174,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":2174,"type":"webpage","abstract":"These basic cultural precepts could be followed by people of all backgrounds and abilities, especially when backed up by almost universal endorsement.

We also had the case of Rebecca Tuvel, a philosopher at Rhodes College, in which the pressure campaign did not come from students but rather from other professors. ?In all of these cases the professor in question was on the left politically, and had said something that most professors did not find offensive. As far as I can tell, most professors outside of the immediate conflict zone supported the accused professors, thought it was inappropriate to subject them to punishment of any kind for what they said or wrote, and thought that these denunciation campaigns ultimately reflected badly on the academy.\n\nNow, in late August, we have a case that may play out differently because the professor in question is a conservative who has made a conservative argument about poverty and culture.

However, as women increasingly enter these fields they face biases and barriers and it is not surprising that sexual harassment is one of these barriers. Over thirty years the incidence of sexual harassment in different industries has held steady, yet now more women are in the workforce and in academia, and in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine (as students and faculty) and so more women are experiencing sexual harassment as they work and learn. Over the last several years, revelations of the sexual harassment experienced by women in the workplace and in academic settings have raised urgent questions about the specific impact of this discriminatory behavior on women and the extent to which it is limiting their careers. Sexual Harassment of Women explores the influence of sexual harassment in academia on the career advancement of women in the scientific, technical, and medical workforce. This report reviews the research on the extent to which women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine are victimized by sexual harassment and examines the existing information on the extent to which sexual harassment in academia negatively impacts the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women pursuing scientific, engineering, technical, and medical careers.

The participants inthis study were 238 male and female academicpsychologists who listed a university address in the1997 Directory of the American PsychologicalAssociation. They were each sent one of four versions of acurriculum vitae (i.e., female job applicant, male jobapplicant, female tenure candidate, and male tenurecandidate), along with a questionnaire and aself-addressed stamped envelope. All the curricula vitaeactually came from a real-life scientist at twodifferent stages in her career, but the names werechanged to traditional male and female names. Althoughan exclusively between-groups design was used to avoidsparking genderconscious responding, the resultsindicate that the participants were clearly able todistinguish between the qualifications of the jobapplicants versus the tenure candidates, as evidenced bysuggesting higher starting salaries, increasedlikelihood of offering the tenure candidates a job,granting them tenure, and greater respect for theirteaching, research, and service records. Both men andwomen were more likely to vote to hire a male jobapplicant than a female job applicant with an identicalrecord. Similarly, both sexes reported that the male job applicant had done adequate teaching,research, and service experience compared to the femalejob applicant with an identical record. In contrast,when men and women examined the highly competitive curriculum vitae of the real-life scientist whohad gotten early tenure, they were equally likely totenure the male and female tenure candidates and therewas no difference in their ratings of their teaching, research, and service experience. There was nosignificant main effect for the quality of theinstitution or professional rank on selectivity inhiring and tenuring decisions. The results of this study indicate a gender bias for both men and womenin preference for male job applicants.","container-title":"Sex Roles","DOI":"10.1023/A:1018839203698","ISSN":"1573-2762","issue":"7","journalAbbreviation":"Sex Roles","language":"en","page":"509-528","source":"Springer Link","title":"The Impact of Gender on the Review of the Curricula Vitae of Job Applicants and Tenure Candidates: A National Empirical Study","title-short":"The Impact of Gender on the Review of the Curricula Vitae of Job Applicants and Tenure Candidates","volume":"41","author":[{"family":"Steinpreis","given":"Rhea E."},{"family":"Anders","given":"Katie A."},{"family":"Ritzke","given":"Dawn"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["1999",10,1]]}}},{"id":2292,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":2292,"type":"report","event-place":"Washington, DC","publisher":"National Academies Press","publisher-place":"Washington, DC","title":"Beyond bias and barriers: Fulfilling the potential of women in academic science and engineering","author":[{"literal":"United States National Academy of Sciences"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2007"]]}}},{"id":1648,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":1648,"type":"article-journal","container-title":"Nature","DOI":"10.1038/387341a0","ISSN":"0028-0836","issue":"6631","journalAbbreviation":"Nature","language":"eng","note":"PMID: 9163412","page":"341-343","source":"PubMed","title":"Nepotism and sexism in peer-review","volume":"387","author":[{"family":"Wenneras","given":"C."},{"family":"Wold","given":"A."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["1997",5,22]]}}}],"schema":""} (e.g., Brown & Goh, 2016; Greider et al., 2019; Handelsman et al., 2005; Knobloch-Westerwick, Glynn, & Huge, 2013; Ledgerwood, Haines, & Ratliff, 2015; Milkman, Akinola, & Chugh, 2012; Moss-Racusin, Dovidio, Brescoll, Graham, & Handelsman, 2012; National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2018; Nature, 2015; Steele, James, & Barnett, 2016; Steinpreis, Anders, & Ritzke, 1999; United States National Academy of Sciences, 2007; Wenneras & Wold, 1997).

Because sociopolitical values are often a core component of self-identity that significantly impact our interpersonal relationships, sociopolitical discrimination is difficult to overcome. There is a tendency to marginalize the sociopolitical “other,” along with a groupthink that implicitly presupposes that this form of discrimination is acceptable (e.g., because conservatives are self-interestedly motivated, conservative ideas are incorrect, or conservatism is well represented elsewhere in society and thus need not be in the academy). Yet discrimination must be overcome because sociopolitical diversity is vital for scholarly inquiry, pedagogy, and for ethical professional practice. Recent research suggests that the assumptions underlying psychology’s value system of promoting racial, ethnic, gender, or sexual orientation diversity—that is, that doing so recognizes people’s personal identities, ameliorates discrimination, and has educational benefits—may be all the more compelling with respect to sociopolitical ideas.","container-title":"Perspectives on Psychological Science","DOI":"10.1177/1745691612455206","ISSN":"1745-6916","issue":"5","journalAbbreviation":"Perspectives on Psychological Science","language":"en","page":"512-515","source":"SAGE Journals","title":"Likes Attract: The Sociopolitical Groupthink of (Social) Psychologists","title-short":"Likes Attract","volume":"7","author":[{"family":"Redding","given":"Richard E."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2012",9,1]]}}}],"schema":""} (Redding, 2012).

For comparison purposes, reported experiences of subtle exclusion for racial/ethnic minority and white members of SPSP were 24.9% and 12.4%, respectively. For heterosexual and sexual minority members, reported experiences of subtle exclusion were 13.8% and 20.1%, respectively. The SPSP report also concluded that conservatives felt “their social identities were less valued than either liberals or participants who reported being neither liberal nor conservative” (p. 63).? Although the sample size for conservatives was small (and, therefore, should be interpreted with caution), the pattern of responses across items all point in the same direction and data from a wide variety of studies strongly suggests that conservatives experience more hostility in academia than do liberals.Questions AskedDo political biases influence the questions researchers can and do ask? According to one recent review, both theory and empirical evidence indicate that cognitive, motivational, and social factors can and do influence the questions researchers ask in ways that are vulnerable to political biases (Jussim, Stevens, & Honeycutt, 2018). For example, political homogeneity may lead to premature scientific foreclosure—the erroneous belief that science has settled some question, thereby discouraging further work on the topic that might reveal the error.?For example, social psychology prematurely foreclosed on conclusions emphasizing the power of self-fulfilling prophecies (Jussim, 2012), the greater susceptibility to bias among conservatives than liberals (Ditto et al., 2018), the existence of higher levels of prejudice among conservatives than liberals (Brandt, Reyna, Chambers, Crawford, & Wetherell, 2014), and the power and pervasiveness of “unconscious prejudice” (Jussim, Careem, Goldberg, Honeycutt, & Stevens, in press). In each case, a ‘consensus’ in support of the erroneous perspective could be found in the scientific literature that lasted decades. Each of these premature foreclosures involved conclusions flattering to liberals or validating equalitarian narratives.Similarly, motivated reasoning (Kunda, 1990) may lead researchers to be more critical and skeptical of findings that challenge their preconceived notions than those that support them (Nickerson, 1998).?Politics may influence scientists’ preconceptions, for example, about the rationality of conservatives or liberals, or the extent and power of bias and discrimination. If so, perhaps, research confirming those notions would be more likely to be published in prestigious journals and highly cited; research disconfirming those notions might have difficulty getting published in prestigious journals, or even getting published at all (as discussed? in Clark and Winegard’s review).Scientists are also heavily influenced by all sorts of social norms (Jussim, Krosnick, Stevens, & Anglin, in press). Norms can influence what is acceptable, popular, or stigmatized to study (Jussim et al., 2018). When deciding what to study, if one is interested in managing one’s career as an academic, topics seen as likely to be warmly received may be pursued far more aggressively than those seen as likely to be harshly received by one’s colleagues. If one understands that most of one’s colleagues are politically left, it will be far easier to manage and advance one’s career if one works on topics appealing to those on the left than on topics that might produce findings that the left opposes (for a brief discussion, see Everett, 2015).As Tetlock and Mitchell (2015) state:?It is not the personal political values of researchers that matter, so much as the willingness of researchers to challenge orthodox ideas within a field, but if the costs of dissent outweigh the benefits of dissent then scientific competition can never drive out spurious results produced by political bias rather than by true empirical causes and effects (Tetlock & Mitchell, 2015, p. 32).In addition to what questions get asked, political values can become embedded in how researchers ask questions (see Reyna, 2018, for a review). This issue was on full display at the 2019 SPSP Political Psychology Pre-Conference. One of the sessions addressed the question of ideological symmetry versus asymmetry. Researchers from two camps were invited to debate whether conservatives and liberals are biased in similar ways (symmetry), or whether conservatives are more biased than liberals (asymmetry). The debate certainly reflected progress, given that for decades the field had prematurely foreclosed on the conclusion that conservatives were more biased than liberals (e.g., Brandt, Reyna, Chambers, Crawford, & Wetherell, 2014; Ditto et al., 2018). However, and here is an informal test of readers’ own political biases: Do you see anything missing? (Take a minute before reading on…). We do. There was?a possibility that was not even considered: Are people on the left more biased than those on the right? Given the awful history of leftwing atrocities (Soviet Union, China, Cambodia, Eastern Europe under Communism, North Korea, et cetera), many of which were enabled by all sorts of biases in reasoning and toxic social norms (Solzhenitsyn, 1973), the failure to even raise this question for consideration was a clear blind spot.MeasurementPolitical agendas can intentionally or unintentionally infiltrate themselves into the very measurement of key constructs in politicized areas. Although some manifestations of measurement bias might be subtle, others are more obvious. For example, liberals typically score higher on the “openness to experience” dimension of the five-factor model of personality. One of the items is “I believe that we should look to our religious authorities for decisions on moral issues” (Agree: Openness score goes down). Conservatives are more religious than liberals (Hirsh, Walberg, & Peterson, 2013; Pew Research Center, 2018), and many academics are hostile to religion (Marsden, 2015; Yancey, Reimer, & O’Connell, 2015). Therefore, a failure to recognize that an item tapping religion could spuriously inflate the correlation between the measure of openness and ideology embeds political bias into the measure (Charney, 2015).?In the most sweeping review of these issues to date, Reyna (2018) conducted a systematic march through a myriad of ways, with examples, of how political biases undermine measurement. She reviewed some of the material we just covered, but through a measurement lens. For example, if we do not measure prejudice held by minority groups towards majority groups, we will develop a skewed view of prejudice as primarily, or even exclusively, the province of majority groups.?Reyna (2018) also addressed the problem of “proxy questions,” which refers to use of questions intended to capture Phenomenon A by measuring Phenomenon B, on the grounds that B is supposed to be correlated with A. Issues related to social desirability have encouraged the rise of proxy measures in social science research; participants might not be willing to admit if they are racist or sexist, so indirect measures are needed to get around this. Symbolic racism (Sears, 1988), for example, was created to get around social desirability in the assessment of racism. Critics, however, have identified a slew of reasons that this indirect measure of racism was actually, at least in part, a measure of political conservatism and belief in meritocracy (Tetlock & Mitchell, 1993). The tangling of conservative and racial concepts in a measure intended to indirectly assess racism makes it impossible to assess the independent and interactive effects of either construct (Tetlock, 1994). If, in turn, canonical conclusions regarding prejudice become rooted in the use of indirect measures that are infused with political bias, our understanding of both prejudice and ideology may become deeply flawed (Reyna, 2018).??Reyna (2018) reviewed a wide variety of common proxy measures (system justification, symbolic racism, and the implicit association test [IAT]) and concluded that all implicitly import potentially unjustified ideological assumptions.?Although a full discussion of how ideological assumptions infiltrate these and other measures is beyond the scope of this paper, it is worth noting that measurement issues have been addressed in a substantial and growing literature on political biases (Chambers & Schlenker, 2015; Duarte et al., 2015; Jussim, Crawford, Anglin, Stevens, & Duarte, 2016; Jussim, Crawford, Anglin, & Stevens, 2015; Martin, 2016; Redding, 2001; Reyna, 2018; Tetlock, 1994).?It is possible that efforts to raise awareness about biases have begun to bear fruit in the sense of researchers becoming more sensitive to their own potential for such biases, and, therefore, being better-positioned to reduce or eliminate them. Nearly two decades after introducing items for an actively open-minded thinking scale (AOT), Stanovich and Toplak (2019) discovered they had inadvertently introduced bias against religious individuals into their measure through items asking participants about “beliefs.” It was assumed by Stanovich and his colleagues that participants all interpreted “belief” in the same way, but they came to recognize that “…our own political/worldview conceptions leaked into these items in subtle ways” (p. 163). Specifically, they presumed “beliefs” referred to secular, empirically verifiable understandings of the world.?For secular academic intellectuals, this presumption is understandable. However, when they discovered unexpectedly high negative correlations of religiousness with some variations of the AOT scale, they revisited the items, and reanalyzed some existing data.? Those analyses were consistent with a conclusion that religious respondents interpreted “beliefs” as “spiritual beliefs.” As a result, this led religious people to appear far less open-minded with respect to secular beliefs (which was the focus of the AOT) than they actually were.?“Are we ideologues masquerading as scientists: Have we rigged the research dice in favor of our political agenda?” (Tetlock, 1994, p. 528). For measurement, this is an important question to keep in mind. Being vigilant in the choice and construction of methods used, in addition to ensuring the validity of measures, would assist in mitigating the effect of political bias on measurement. As summarized by Reyna (2018), researchers must ensure their questions are not one-sided, that political assumptions are not embedded to the detriment of construct and face validity, and reviewers and consumers must carefully scrutinize measures to ensure that they assess what they are purported to assess (see also Flake & Fried, 2019, for a review of questionable measurement practices).?InterpretationResearchers can and do misinterpret findings for many reasons.

Sociologists sometimes develop the erroneous belief that they understand alternative ideologies, and they fail to explore non-liberal ways of framing sociological knowledge. Some counterarguments may be raised against these theses, and I address such counterarguments.","container-title":"The American Sociologist","DOI":"10.1007/s12108-015-9263-z","ISSN":"1936-4784","issue":"1","journalAbbreviation":"Am Soc","language":"en","page":"115-130","source":"Springer Link","title":"How Ideology Has Hindered Sociological Insight","volume":"47","author":[{"family":"Martin","given":"Chris C."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015"]]}}},{"id":401,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":401,"type":"article-journal","container-title":"American Psychologist","issue":"3","page":"205-215","title":"Sociopolitical diversity in psychology: The case for pluralism.","volume":"56","author":[{"family":"Redding","given":"Richard E"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2001"]]}}},{"id":2132,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":2132,"type":"chapter","container-title":"Politics of Social Psychology","event-place":"New York, NY","page":"81-98","publisher":"Psychology Press","publisher-place":"New York, NY","title":"Scale creation, use, and misuse: How politics undermines measurement","author":[{"family":"Reyna","given":"Christine"}],"editor":[{"family":"Crawford","given":"Jarret T."},{"family":"Jussim","given":"Lee"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2018"]]}}}],"schema":""} (e.g., Jussim et al., 2015, 2018; Jussim, Crawford, Stevens, Anglin, et al., 2016; Jussim, Crawford, Stevens, & Anglin, 2016; Lilienfeld, 2017; Martin, 2015; Redding, 2001; Reyna, 2018).Suppression of Ideas and FindingsPolitical and especially equalitarian biases may operate to suppress certain ideas and findings.

Although the role of political biases in producing this situation may never be known with certainty, two points are worth highlighting. First, an alternative explanation is that researchers obtained null results, which are notoriously difficult to publish, so they did not bother to try. However, this explanation is, at best, incomplete, inasmuch as statistically significant evidence of anti-white bias among black respondents was found and the studies still were not published.

We speculate that Inzlicht’s comments apply widely. If so, the obvious consequence is that suppression of research ideas and findings out of fear of running afoul of one’s colleagues will produce a biased ‘scientific literature’ that provides more support for equalitarian narratives than is actually justified.CitationsPolitical motivations and blinders may also distort scientific literatures by influencing which studies researchers emphasize.

Here, we present two experiments aimed at replicating the original study. Despite the use of automated timing methods and a larger sample, our first experiment failed to show priming. Our second experiment was aimed at manipulating the beliefs of the experimenters: Half were led to think that participants would walk slower when primed congruently, and the other half was led to expect the opposite. Strikingly, we obtained a walking speed effect, but only when experimenters believed participants would indeed walk slower.

Table 3 captures this state of affairs. The ideal situation is when valid findings are canonized. If invalid findings are ignored, the canon is also better off, though, of course, we rarely know which findings are valid versus invalid until a skeptical scientific community has had years, sometimes decades, to fully vet the research. The other two cells are even more suboptimal: Canonization of invalid findings can lead to a Reign of Error (and psychology’s replication crisis strongly suggests that is exactly what we have had in many areas for the last several decades); and failure to canonize valid findings harms the field by depriving it of valid knowledge.Canonization is where the biases articulated in the prior sections on questions, measurement, interpretations, and citations all come together in ways that actually matter. When solid research is blithely ignored because it fails to fit liberal/equalitarian narratives, it impoverishes the social science canon. Furthermore, to the extent that the largely overlooked work is actually superior in methodological quality to the cited work (see Tables 1 and 2), it may actually contribute to a Reign of Error, whereby flawed studies of limited generalizability are taken to represent the field’s general knowledge. When certain questions go unasked, the canon cannot possibly have answered them. When we use flawed or biased measures, our interpretations of findings may be distorted at best and wrong at worst. When we reach consistently unjustified interpretations, we produce a Reign of Error. And even if all this is corrected in the scientific literature, if those corrections go largely ignored (uncited), the Reign of Error can persist.??

We further note that the phenomena reviewed herein likely synergistically combine to undermine the credibility of science with all but the liberal members of the lay public. The lack of conservatives in the social sciences, combined with explicit endorsement of discrimination against conservatives, gives lay conservatives ample reasons to doubt the validity of conclusions seeming to support liberal, equalitarian, social justice narratives. We urge readers to imagine a counterfactual: That the social sciences included a large minority of conservative scientists, that our methods were actually capable of providing clear scientific answers to controversial and politicized issues, and that most scientists valued truth over politics. In this hypothetical world, high quality methods could lead both liberal and conservative social scientists to converge on answers to some difficult questions. In this case, we speculate that research findings from this hypothetical world would have far higher credibility among the lay public for two reasons: 1. Representation of a broad ideological range of views among scientists signals a commitment to fairness, openness, and honesty; and 2. It guarantees that a large number of scientists (if consensus is reached) on everyone’s ‘side’ confirm the validity of the finding, regardless of whose political narrative it validates. This should make it far more difficult to dismiss scientific findings as partisan ax-grinding by other means. Furthermore, by virtue of experts on one’s own side endorsing the research, the findings may be rendered far more palatable. Although we are not suggesting that vigorous embrace of intellectual and political diversity in the social sciences is some sort of scientific panacea, this hypothetical world—which contrasts sharply with our actual world—captures some of the potential benefits social science might reap by rectifying its political lack of diversity and taking its political bias problems seriously.

Tribalism is not inherently bad, but it can lead to ideological thinking and sacred values that distort cognitive processing of putatively objective information in ways that affirm and strengthen the views and well-being of one’s ingroup (and that increase one’s own standing within one’s ingroup). Because of this shared evolutionary history of intergroup conflict, liberals and conservatives likely share the same underlying tribal psychology, which creates the potential for ideologically distorted information processing. Over the past several decades, social scientists have sedulously documented various tribal and ideological psychological tendencies on the political right, and more recent work has documented similar tendencies on the political left. We contend that these tribal tendencies and propensities can lead to ideologically distorted information processing in any group. And this ideological epistemology can become especially problematic for the pursuit of the truth when groups are ideologically homogenous and hold sacred values that might be contradicted by empirical inquiry.

To aid in this effort, Jussim & Crawford (2017) reviewed research identifing a slew of actions that scientists can take now to limit their vulnerability to such biases. Although space does not permit a deep exposition here, in brief, those included: increase one’s own exposure to politically diverse views as espoused by those who hold them (rather than [mis]characterizations of those views by their opponents), include political views in diversity statements and programs, subject all work (including equalitarianism-validating work) to intense scientific skepticism, use strong inference (design studies to test competing alternative theoretical perspectives), wait to bring research-based interventions into public applications until after the underlying research has undergone a long period of skeptical scientific vetting, and develop hypotheses and research programs based on theoretical predictions that are so strong they leave little room for political biases. We echo Clark & Winegard’s hope that social scientists will become more aware of their biases. Through the type of critical introspection they called for, and by acting on some of these recommendations described, we also hope this will work toward curtailing its influence on social science research.FiguresFigure 1: Preliminary Theoretical Model for Manifestations of Political Bias in Social ScienceTablesTable 1: Citations to Two Papers Finding Opposite Patterns of Gender BiasNumber of ExperimentsTotal Sample SizeMain FindingTotalCitations (Google Scholar, 12-9-19)Citations Since 2015 (Google Scholar, 12-9-19) ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"bE15XYYH","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Williams & Ceci, 2015)","plainCitation":"(Williams & Ceci, 2015)","dontUpdate":true,"noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":817,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":817,"type":"article-journal","container-title":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences","issue":"17","page":"5360–5365","title":"National hiring experiments reveal 2: 1 faculty preference for women on STEM tenure track","volume":"112","author":[{"family":"Williams","given":"Wendy M"},{"family":"Ceci","given":"Stephen J"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015"]]}}}],"schema":""} Williams & Ceci (2015)5873Bias favoring women217194 ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"CNY0jq0z","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Moss-Racusin, Dovidio, Brescoll, Graham, & Handelsman, 2012)","plainCitation":"(Moss-Racusin, Dovidio, Brescoll, Graham, & Handelsman, 2012)","dontUpdate":true,"noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":778,"uris":[""],"uri":[""],"itemData":{"id":778,"type":"article-journal","container-title":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences","issue":"41","page":"16474–16479","title":"Science faculty’s subtle gender biases favor male students","volume":"109","author":[{"family":"Moss-Racusin","given":"Corinne A"},{"family":"Dovidio","given":"John F"},{"family":"Brescoll","given":"Victoria L"},{"family":"Graham","given":"Mark J"},{"family":"Handelsman","given":"Jo"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2012"]]}}}],"schema":""} Moss-Racusin, et al.
