• Resumen

  • In this article the authors discuss how what scientists choose to study is influenced by their points of view. They present opposing findings by men and women researchers studying the sexual behavior in primates and discuss the impact of culture in the research approach used by U.S. and Japanese primatologists, the impact of diversity on studies of education and social science, and the impact of choice and diversity on validity in the sciences and the reduction of bias.
