Question

multiple choice question
a sociologist studying gun control is personally opposed to gun ownership. any reasonable person could interpret one piece of data from their study in one of two ways, and this sociologist chose the interpretation that supported opposition to gun ownership. which ethical code is this sociologist breaching?
○ value neutrality
○ conflict of interest
○ disclosing funding sources
○ confidentiality
need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

Value neutrality requires social scientists to set aside personal biases when interpreting data. The sociologist let their personal opposition to gun ownership guide their interpretation of ambiguous data, violating this ethical standard. Confidentiality relates to protecting participant data, disclosing funding sources is about transparency of financial support, and conflict of interest involves competing loyalties, none of which apply here.

Answer:

O value neutrality
