gender and culture

• • bias within psychology can be reduced through greater diversity and equal representation among researchers. this includes encouraging more female researchers to reduce androcentrism and to limit ethnocentrism. indigenous psychology should be encouraged, research that is conducted by individuals who are native to or deeply understand the culture under investigation
• • bias in reporting psychological findings can be reduced by clearly stating that the theories, findings and conclusions are limited to the gender or culture represented in the sample and any claims of universality or difference should be supported by empirical data
