Method of increasing the objectivity of empirical research

摘要

The article describes types of cognitive distortions that can affect objectivity of empirical research and empirical data obtained. A self-assessment method for evaluating the experiment objectivity is presented, which can be used to self-assess the objectivity of empirical research. The developed method uses checklists at some stages of empirical research and allows reducing the research subjectivity by minimizing cognitive distortions that may arise due to deviations in the research or defects in the methods used.
